I'm Baack.

I got back from my little journey down south yesterday. I must say, the atmosphere in southern and central Virginia is quite different. Everyone is incredibly hospitable and friendly, and uses phrases such as "y'all" so much, it no longer seems awkward. Additionally,  the cuisine is absolutely different, but amazing! Little restaurants crowded around Main Street, where I stayed. The locals seem to like pancakes, for out of every 5 restaurants, there was guaranteed to be at least one pancake house. Mama Steve's Pancake House seems to be a popular establishment (how quaint a name!).

I've uploaded some pictures of Fredericksburg, a town in central Virginia, if you'd like to see.

A pharmacy with a soda fountain and sit-down counters! You never see these anymore!
FAVORITE name
A little family-run restaurant. The sweet potato fries were so addicting.
The best part about this town was its slough of antique shops. I picked up a postcard from 1910...a hundred years old!
It was mailed from Harrisonburg, Va to West Virginia. Postage costs were 1 cent those days!
I guess this girl was writing to her aunt about visiting Harrisonburg. It's so old-fashioned and cute.

Alright, I think I'm going to exercise now...three days without cardio is bad :(
