So the only bus to Charleston is at 4 tomorrow morning, so we are here in Raleigh, North Carolina for another night. Which turned out to be awesome!!! We found a way nicer motel, which is much cheaper (go figure!). Raleigh is pronounced, RAAA- lee, like when you go to the dr and say aaaaaaa, NOT like the ra in Rambo. Jen, this should be ok for you, it’s the same way you say rant ;0) So anyway, our new, super cool motel is across the road from the mall, which I decided was a sign, and a-shopping we went!
We went to Best Buys, which for those of you who watch is EXACTLY like the Buymore in Chuck! They even have a nerd herd equivalent called the Geek Squad. So Funny! Nick was in techno geek heaven, and I found a pink blackberry to play with til he was done.
We found a Lindt store, Mom, /i wished you were here! they have flavours we’ve never seen and they sell them in massive packets for about R100. We are gonna try find one in Washington so we can bring some home!
We went to the Disney store, Radio Shack, and I found the US equivalent of the GHD for R1000! (Thegirls will understand how awesome that is!)
We had lunch at this place that looks like a diner from the 50′s. Best burger and chips EVER!
So before I go…
Things that are WAY better in South Africa:
- Syrup
- Bacon
- Jam
- Butter
- Milk
- Pizza!!!!!!!!
As much fun as we’re having, I have no doubt that my country is awesome! And the grass is not greener… just different. Also, people keep telling me my accent is ”sooo cool”, and I’m like, I don’t have an accent… you do! Hee hee. Miss you all! Love and hugs
