You paint a lovely picture Rebecca! We haven't been to the South (except Florida - DisneyWorld, pretty sure that might not count) and it's certainly on our list to visit in the US (we are UK-based). We've travelled to a few places lately where I have felt discomfort about whether to visit for political/idealogical reasons - India, Turkey, Morocco, Texas - and the way I am beginning to see it is that a) a country and it's people are not it's government - everywhere has wonderful people and b) often the people need the tourism dollars to support them. We've tried to talk to people and learn about their culture and their lives even more, and to spend our tourist pounds wisely, ethically and thoughtfully? All good. x
love! I also live in the south (Atlanta) and wrote about southern summers recently... there's something so special about them.
A good article. I do have one complaint. The link to the composter doesn’t work! 😀
