While camping at beautiful elijah Clark.st park, we treated ourselves to some icecream at the lincolnton Mr freeze. Earlier that day we thought the place was abandoned from the looks of it, but at night it was open.and hopping. We couldn't help but notice everybody look at us when we walked in. It was a true small town GA experience so we couldn't wait to go back the next night. We even tried a lemon sour which is ice, lemon juice, carbonated water and a lot of salt. Chris liked it. The people we met there were laughing at the funny way we talk, while we were straining to understand their words.
The south is different. Although people have been very friendly, we feel Like outsiders and been called yankees. Not that that is a bad thing, but has led to some interesting discussions in the car. One fellow even said that "yall yankees can have your cold weather you complain about up there, after all you won the war."
We are headed toward Savannah, looking forward to seeing the ocean.
Totally understand what was said about the people of the south, I lived there for l yr. and will tell you when you leave someone you have just met be sure to say "you'll come with us now, ya hear?" Talk to you soon.
