Day 2

fredag.
awoke to the smell of eggs and bacon.
breakfast is served by freddy roberts.
I knew I shouldn't have gone back to bed but I was too tired to care. I normally don't have any problems to get used to new times but it is harder to fly this way for some reason.

woke up again and went with freddy and his mom in the red truck to "the store".
"the store" is the store in echo.

everyone stares at me when i walk in wearing my ksubi jeand and blue cardigan. and they think freddy is a girl cause his hair is a bit long and he has skinny jeans.
i lean over the desk to see whats on the menu (cause everyone is eating lunch here). there's fried chicken, fried catfish, hushpuppies (fried cornbread), beans and some yellow potatosallad. i went over and got a soda and sat down. people turn their heads and peak up over their food. freddy says that i'm probably the first swedish girl to ever set foot in echo
.
when we get back freddy takes me on his four wheeler and drives me around their land. it's big. and i got to drive for a bit.
later we met up with holly (freddys oldest sister), Brantley (her boyfriend) and a couple of their friends. we went to this amazing mexican restaurant in dothan.
after dinner we went to hollys house for a bit and played some music. turns out everyone except for one person in the company are songwriters. so everyone sings/plays a song. except for me. i'm too shy. they were really good! hollys sisters voice reminds me of lykke li/norah jones.

then we went to walmart to get some stuff (the cashier gave freddy his change and said "thanks, mam. sir. mam. sir?") and then we went home. on the way home i tuned in to the radio and heard some of the most hilarious country music i've ever come across.
i noticed that i'm picking up on the southern accent. scary.
love becks
