North Carolina step 1: Raleigh

Savannah was amazing, we enjoyed chilling out with the host dogs. We also learned about the colonialist past and the slave trade. On the fourth morning we took a long-ass train to Wilson (which, quite frankly, is a creepy semi-abandoned town in North Carolina). We stopped there for 4 hours and could only find 1 open cafe/ bakery which shut at 4 pm? We walked with our ridiculously big suitcase through the suburbs and it quickly turned dodgy, so we decided to return to the ,,center".

After a delay of 1 hour we took the connecting train to Raleigh, which is the comercial and administrative center of the state of North Carolina. We stayed one night in a cute air bnb (it was a basement apartment). Alex and I went for dinner to a cool microbrewery #trophybreweryandpizza. The food was great and the IPA and sours were sensational 🥳🤯. We bought two 4-packs as a gift for our future hosts.

After that, Alex went to bed and I binge-watched the first half of the newest Bridgerton season 😅. Oh yeah, since our arrival in the US, took the liberty to try lots of thc and cbd infused gummies and drinks (which are, btw, absolutely legal in many US states). They give you an easy - moderate high without all the side effects 🙀. So I was high as a kite 🥳while rewatching the carriage scene over and over again ♥️♥️♥️♥️. At 3 am all episodes were watched and I finally went to bed - not before managing to break the power by burning an old plug in the basement - in the end there wasn't much to do so I just went to bed 🤣. I was very excited about the next morning, as we were to be picked up by our friend's mom.
