Quick Update - I literally threw up the rest of the posts from the end of the road trip because it'll be about a month before we actually get off our asses and perfect them. I'm sure everyone will have lost interest by then. Including us.

Also, I messed up all the pictures. My brain failed to understand the intricate dance of photo syncing that was going on between my computer, Picasa Web Albums and Blogger. Oops. I'm working on it. Kinda. ~ Ang

Failed Expectations

The southern states are nothing at all like we'd expected. Probably should have paid more attention in, well, geography for one because I have no idea which states are next to which. Even having been through them it still takes me a bit to remember. Or social studies or something that would have given me more an idea about what these places are like. Here's a list of our illusions and unexpected findings:

California
Expected: sun, warmth, sandy beaches, happy nice laid-back surfer dudes.
Delivered: cold, hillbillies, assholes, trailer trash and pimps

Utah
Expected: funky looking rocks
Delivered: awesome funky looking rocks, but the French Invasion

Arizona
Expected: sandy desert and seguros
Delivered: scrubby high desert, trees, but nice navajo people

Santa Fe, New Mexico
Expected: tacos
Delivered: awesomeness, but shitty tacos

Roswell, New Mexico

Expected: aliens
Delivered: disappointment

Texas
Expected: longhorns, horses, cowboys, prairies, pickup trucks
Delivered: trees, traffic accidents, pickup trucks with ballsacks (probably should have expected that one though)

San Antonio, Texas

Expected: nothing
Delivered: the beautiful Riverwalk, the Alamo

Louisiana
Expected: Cajun swamp land, a hurricane
Delivered: rapists and rainbows
