She’s back!!!

Rocio is on Thanksgiving break, and has caught up to me in Charlotte, NC!
Thanksgiving break lasts a week for Rocio, who teaches full time at Georgia State University. This of course translates to over a week of quality, wonderful days together!

I’m so happy!!!

Today, Rocio & I walked several miles through the southern stretches of Charlotte to reach the centralized “Dilworth” neighborhood, home of hosts Paras & Shivani Mehta.

Charlotte is known as the “Queen City,” and you’ll find many street signs denoting this, in addition to city guide signs with an embedded stencil of a queen’s crown. Charlotte and its resident Mecklenburg County are named in honor of Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who had become queen consort of Great Britain the year before the city’s founding.
