Alligator in the Road

As we turned into the center of Hasselt last weekend on our way home from the airport, everything seemed really, really small.

I know I'd only been away for 3 weeks, but the expanse of Texas (specifically Longview) and the density of Belgium (specifically Hasselt) was never more evident to me.

And I know we've only been living abroad for 3 years, but somehow on this last visit home, things I never noticed before were never more evident to me.

Simply making observations, I took a few pictures as we kept the back roads hot between Jefferson (pop. 2,101) and Longview. 

From pick-ups to power lines, St. Augustine to the Second Amendment, McMansions to marching bands, dirt dobbers to double-wides, I compiled a little slideshow of Southern Americana that I am absolutely, positively, without-a-doubt certain I will never see in Belgium.
