States: AR, OK, and now we are in TX!
BBQ: Excellent (AR)
Sweet Tea: Top Drawer
Stomach: Hurts
*that's BBQ with a side of meat - sausage, as part of the standard meal.
I'd love to talk about the scenic views of latter day AR and OK, and wax poetic about the land and the people....but...
It's pretty flat.
I'm not sure what people do out here because it's pretty flat and...empty. Definitely flat, definitely empty.
The population seems to consist of bugs who have a death wish, the front of my car is covered and we often have to stop to scrape off the windshield so that we can see. The plus side: soon you won't be able to tell what state is on my plate!
Mom and I googled "interesting sights between Little Rock and Oklahoma City" and got the response "You are better off not leaving Memphis." Then we stopped in to see friends of hers in Norman OK, and asked about the rest of the trip to TX that night. We were told: "Oh, it gets flatter."
They were right.
We spent time trying to think about interesting things to write about Oklahoma, but so far we've got "roadwork" "less trucks" and "still a lot of bugs." I know, riveting reading!
Today however we are off to TX, NM, and will hopefully make AZ tonight! We understand it gets less flat and more interesting :).
