Welcome to Emi-Woro, I mean Tuscaloosa. I was confused when we first arrived, it definitely felt like Nigeria; balmy, sticky, dumping rain, lush jungle landscape but no, this is Alabama. We pulled into our apartment after driving just 3.5 hrs from Nashville this morning.
We picked up our keys and started to unload our car just as the sky decided to dump rain and I do mean dump. We decided to delay the unpacking process and run errands.
We had to go in person to set up our water and we needed to set up internet- an essential to staying connected to the outside world or in this case to you- the reader. I somehow maneuvered the car down the road in the rain without hitting anything or anyone. I guess this is our new normal.
After errands we unpacked as much as we could. We were going to leave some things in the truck bed overnight but when it started to rain again we went back for the last of it. The bottoms of our boxes were soaked through, so much for reusing those, we'll have to make friends with another liquor store owner. We are tired but accomplished a lot today and are thankful to finally be in The Beautiful Alabama. We have two bedrooms now and can't wait for you to come on down for a visit.
