Today we will leave Columbia and head toward New Orleans. I even believe that we will stay in our first Walmart parking lot tonight :)
Columbia is a great city! It is easy to get around and there is so much to do. It's a college town for sure and I usually don't like college towns -- I have never liked all the teeny boppers, even when I was considered one....imagine how I might feel as a middle aged woman :) Although the city is defined a great deal by the university it is more than that. Culturally you can enjoy concerts, traveling broadway plays and all of the other things a larger city has to offer. The thing that sets Columbia apart, in my experience, is that feels inclusive. I say this specifically around my experiences around the university activities...for a week I was a Gamecock. Even when I was going to UVM I never felt a part of that school experience. There is a passion here that is infectious and I was very happy to have been infected by it, even for a short time.
If only it was by the ocean......I could see myself living here.
Goodbye Columbia, I'll miss you!
