I am home on spring break for a few days, and once again I am reminded how much I miss being home. Most (not all) of my friends live here, and my brother, Thomas is living at home right now. He had been living in Africa for about 27 months, so it is great having him around. I also really enjoy having my parents' dogs around! (Don't tell Stewie). Although Stewie acts like a dog (he fetches and he drinks out of the toilet), it is so fun having dogs around.
Most importantly . . . I LOVE the food here. The new Indian restaurant in Charleston, Little India, is amazing. Jason and I went on Friday with my parents and Thomas and we each got a different entree. Every entree was delicious, and the bread baskets there are great as well. We had dinner this evening with our good friends Brittany, Chris, Megan, and Chris at Lola's Pizza in South Hills and it was really good as well. Lola's does specialty pizzas - we got one that was half spicy shrimp and sausage and the other half mushrooms and pesto, both halves with goat cheese. We had originally planned on going to SoHos, which I also adore. Anyone who goes there HAS to get the cajun shrimp pasta. It is the tastiest pasta ever!
I also really enjoy being down here in the summers when we can enjoy the river. Running/walking on the boulevard by the river is a favorite in the spring and summer. My parents have a boat docked on the river, and it is so much fun to take the boat out for a ride. The boat has a refrigerator on it, so you can throw some sandwiches and beer into the fridge and make a day out of it! I can't wait until summer!
Most importantly, I love being around my parents and my brothers (whichever ones happen to be in town) and all of my friends who live here. Charleston is home, and home is where the heart it! We are moving back in May, and I can't wait. See you then, Chucktown.
