Mountains versus Beach

Even on a quick visit, the differences between the mountains of North Carolina and our simple beach town are evident.

Walmart- they sell both gluten free/organic food…AND guns (seriously, in adjacent isles).

Their ice cream shop offers goat milk ice cream on gluten free cones (will take a closer look at the menu in Springer’s to compare).

I hear “Yes, Ma’am” often- and it sounds polite and respectful.

I’m self conscious when I say “water”.  And, I talk WAY too fast!
