Beginning

I wish I could travel the world. "Travel all over the place" I told someone the other day. "All over the place?! Haha, that would take forever!". I know that, but the idea is to see the world and experience new things. To meet as many people and see as many places and know as many different possibilities before it's all over. All over, all over the place, all over the world.
     But I can't. At least not right now. I am your typical broke college student who spends her money on junk food and books and car insurance instead of what she really needs, a camera, a computer, and a trip out of town. I make do with a borrowed camera and a unreliable free computer, and now, I'm making do with the task of traveling throughout the Southeast. I can gain photography experience and traveling experience while visiting all the local wonders of my own homeland. Being limited in money means bunking at the relatives or splitting costs with a friend or your sister. This blog is most likely going to be out of order and all over random, but that's pretty much what's going to come as a part of traveling. the unexpected and unplanned (mostly). And I will also add pictures later or as I go, depending on the time I have at different places or need for editing.
     But let's get right to it. I am currently in Destin, Florida. My uncle works for the Navy as a teacher and so him and my aunt got a beach house for two weeks down here and invited my family to come down. Now I rode down from Tuscaloosa and my mom, sister, and nephew rode down from Birmingham. It took me four and a half hours, long enough to make my back hurt for the rest of the trip, and I saw some pretty weird things going down the backroads of podunk Alabama. Such as the Hillbilly Mall- a literal one room red shed with random iron-shaped objects out front called the Hillbilly Mall. Then the Smoking Butts place, with the awesome sign of a pig's booty with smoke coming up from the..ahem. There were your standard tractor- pulls that you get stuck behind who go no more than five miles per hour and your standard scary monster trucks with toothless men who refuse-REFUSE- to let you pass them when the lane becomes two-lanes. But there were also beatuful hillside scenerys and ginormous trees all living in multispecies harmony. I even saw three does or deer running in the fields alongside the road, which was absolutely wonderful to see instead of bodyless heads mounted on walls. I saw horses and dogs and donkeys and lots lots lots lots of cows. I mean, a vast amount of cows. Soooooo many cows, black ones and brown ones and white ones (not a whole lot of multicolored ones though...hmm??)...and each color were in their own little fenced in homes...which was kind of odd and could probably question a relation to racial issues in the South but then again, maybe there's a particular genetic or biological reason for them to be separated?? I don't know, I just drive past them.
   Ugh, enough about backroads for now. I finally got to the beach and our house is pretty awesome. The lady who owns it is from England, she comes here about five times a year and Really likes Blue. Blue walls, blue kitchen, blue bathrooms, blue hardwood, blue porch...oh, and then brown fans...?  I'm sure she's really nice though.
I got to finish this post later, dinner's ready : )
