When I told my cousin I was working in Chapel Hill, she thought about her visits to the area (her good friend lives in Raleigh) and her reaction was, There are a lot of trees there.
My brother came down last weekend to visit the great state of NC. I told him this story. He agreed. He also found the high amount of trees rather annoying (apparently, they impede your view).
Here is a list of adventures.
We went to the baseball game in Durham. I introduced him to my boss. They have the same name.
I got an appetizer of fried pickles because that is what LocalIntern likes to make me eat. I felt I shouldn’t be the only one in the family forced to undergo this experience.
LocalIntern was stoked *I* ordered fried pickles when he found out and high fived me.
Twice.
Brother’s reaction to fried pickles: Interesting. You said it, man…

The next day we went to the mountains. My brother is 1) injured 2) not been running as much as me 3) not been running on hills like me 4) not been hiking like me… and he STILL beat me on the uphills. I am very Jan Ulrich-like in the mountains

Then it was off………… to Durham. Where I got lost. For 2 hours. Trying to get to Duke’s fuckin West Campus. I HATE DURHAM AND I HATE DUKE.
We made it.
Then Chapel Hill…. and exploring campus… we met two weird squirrels. It seems abnormal they would be napping… on the ground?
Weird squirrels
UNC campus- so many trees!
Duke Chapel
Then it was Sunday and it was back to the airport.
I did, however, get him some BBQ… it got higher ratings than the fried pickles, for sure.
