Back home......

Last night, I made it back home from my trip down south. We went to visit some relatives and it was a nice little trip away from home.  They live in a small city in Louisiana and when I say small I mean small.  It looks like all of their stores and restaurants are all on one street. I looked it up on Wikipedia and it said their city is only 4.1 square miles which is small. Some of the houses were nice but the majority of them were run down.  Every time I saw some people that lived there it made me wonder why they choose to stay there? The word that comes to mind about that place is Podunk. But of course I would feel that way I'm use to big city living. Where all the houses are close together and their may be some run down houses but it looks worse there and I'm use to seeing tall buildings. It is definitely different from home but I will say it does seem peaceful there and I'm sure their isn't as much crime as their is here. I am glad to be back home. We drove all the way down there and back which is an 11-12 hour drive. I officially do not like road trips unless I'm with some fun people. I was able to watch some Christmas movies in the hotel while down there so I am glad about that. I feel like anybody who downs this city and talk about it being boring need to go to a small city that doesn't have anything and then they will appreciate what they have and how special they're city is.
