Thank you, Countrygal!
I could experience the beautiful South only very few weeks before I had to go back to Germany and never came back to Virginia. But even after 25 years I still miss the smell of the nights, the cute southern ladies calling me Honey or Darling because my German name was too hard to pronounce, and the southern drawl.
I am German and have been in Germany all my life, but a couple of weeks had been enough to make me miss it the rest of my life.
