Our weekend drive

It was the weekend and we decided to take a drive towards Foley, the place where we usually go for our shopping spree at Tanger Outlet. But unlike the usual stop at Tanger, we want to see something new and different.


Once we hit Interstate Highway 10, we will be driving towards Downtown Mobile under the tunnel and onto a long bridge that connects Downtown Mobile to the Eastern Shore part of Alabama. This long bridge opens up to the Gulf of Mexico. And as we travelled along this bridge on a sunny day, it was pure vast expanse of the gulf.





The America as we know it from cities like New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas are huge departues from the southern states, well, not in this part of Alabama that I know of. This is rural America, and as we drove past vast grassland, we would also come across farm markets, antique shops and old gas stations. The Burris Farm Markets and the likes are considered not very rural, there are others that are more "kampung" than these.

To be continued.
