I miss road trips...

This is starting to become a "what Leona loves" blog site. My last few blogs began with "I love..." And, to not disappoint:

I forgot how I miss and love road trips, until I had to road trip to San Diego from Austin, TX recently. So many trivial questions came to my mind as I drove, and it was like de ja vu. I remember asking those same questions when I was driving around the country as a travel nurse. Just a glimpse:



What's it like to live in a small town, with population <3000?

Why do small towns all have water towers with the town name on them? Definitely couldn't see a water tower with "San Diego" on it when you drive into San Diego, even if it was on Mount Soledad or Mount Helix.

There are no water towers in towns so small that it's the size of one or two blocks.

This may be the first time I've ever seen (insert city name here), and am amazed, but for everyone around me, it's just another day at home/work.

Never stop at the rest stop in the middle of California's desert dunes. Stinky.

Who can I call while I'm driving through West Texas?


This makes me want to be a travel nurse again, just to experience it again. But, I won't until the Lord says "Go". Lord, I'll wait.
