What a country-blessed with geographic and cultural diversity.
Flying from Detroit in the Great Lakes region to the Hartsfield-Jackson airport in an ever-evolving Atlanta in the red clay of Georgia
to the Cherokee tribal nation and the rolling Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina
to the country sounds of Opryland and cranes dotting the growing Nashville landscape
to the river rapids of Tennessee
to the vast crop lands of the Mississippi delta
to the rural hospitality of Arkansas while crossing the mighty Mississippi River
to the meandering waters of the Red River defining the city of Bossier City in Louisiana and sister city Shreveport
to the vacation and golf hot spot on the Gulf-Biloxi
to New Orleans where the Mississippi meets the Gulf and where Bourbon Street and beignets entice the young and the old
to the water rich swamp lands from Mobile to Montgomery in the state of Alabama
to the completion of the circuitous southern tour in the return to the bustling Hartsfield-Jackson airport.
What a trip.
What a country.
