Hello from Charlotte! Driving to Virginia Beach today :)

The new photographer job has been fun! Driving still stresses me out a little and I miss people but it's all manageable. I like the flexibility, slept until 9:30 today and my bosses will never know :) I also feel I might get into audiobooks - I'm often either driving or editing photos and having something to listen to helps. I ill run out of podcasts soon.

Kind of disappointed with American food. Got in the trap of looking for a nice Mexican place ending up at a disgusting TexMex twice already. I have to remember to never order blue cheese sauce. Has nothing in common with blue cheese and almost made me throw away my whole lunch. Ordered a chicken sandwich the other day and got a mayo covered chicken breast with one leaf of lettuce in between cheap burger buns... It takes a little research to find something decent that's for sure.

And I can't cook very much on the road but finding the cheese crackers salami and berries and the supermarket kind of saved my sanity.

- I have no idea what blue cheese sauce is. Stay away from it :)

As for good Mexican food, kb's 1000 mile rule is a good one unless you know where the small taqueria's and haunts that are actually in Mexican neighborhoods are. Most major cities have legit hispanic communities where you can get legit Mexican food. Also, if you're in a city check out where their food-truck scene is. Some of the most inventive and best food these days are coming from food trucks.

Safe travels!

Most of us wouldn't expect spectacular Mexican more than a thousand miles from Mexico.

Just sayin.

I was aiming towards edible, not spectacular. It was either that or heavy southern BBQ that i already had enough of. Or Popeyes... If we can make okay Mexican in Canada, don't see why they can't in southern US.

Call me a pretentious millennial but I'd kill for a place with avocado toast and quinoa salads right about now.
