Road trip!
Aug. 3rd, 2016 09:45 am My friend and I initially had plans to just hang out on Monday, but I called her and she asked me If I wanted to go on a road trip to see Charika. Charika is my best friend who moved away shortly after we graduated high-school. I said sure since I hadn't seen her in a long time. So we jumped in my car and embarked on a road trip down to South Texas towards Goliad. It was a long drive. It took us about 5 hours to get there, but we had lots of fun sight seeing on the way. We ended up taking my car since it's new, and I needed to put some miles on it. If you guys have never been to Texas it is truly like another country compared other places in the United States. The part we visited was mostly full of corn fields, livestock, oil rigs, and other things people probably associate with Texas.
On the way there we saw this gigantic gas station called "Buck-ees" or something, and it was what I dubbed "The Six Flags of gas stations" I kid you not. I was much too apprehensive to actually go in there lmao. My friend told me about a few incidents her family had in that gas station while traveling. Apparently there's always a ton of people in there, and I wasn't about to trigger my social anxiety by trying to fight through a sea of people.( Read more... )

After that we went back to Charika's job to tell her goodbye, but apparently her supervisor let her leave work early so we took her home. We sat in her room, and hung out and talked for a while. Around 2pm we decided we needed to start heading back since it was going to be a long drive. I had a ton of fun with my friend on my first real road trip. We'll probably do it again in a couple of years or so to visit her. I do promise to post some pics of the trip since I took quite a few of them. My phone is being annoying right now, and doesn't want to transfer the pictures. Once I get that figured out the next post will be mostly pictures of the places we visited.
