Welcome to the Delta
On today we arrived in Greenville, MS around 5:30 p.m. The ride here was not so bad and it did not seem as if we were on the road for seven or eight hours. Majority of that is probably because I slept almost the entire time haha. Anyways, once we got here we arrived at the fire station where we would be spending the remainder of our trip at. Before I go any further, I would like to say that the hospitality here is like none other. The firemen welcomed us with open arms and told us verbatim "make yourselves at home." It made the trip even more exciting to know that these people were happy that we were here. Once we got settled at the station we headed to dinner at a local church that had prepared it for us. Those people were the most wonderful people that you could meet. They also welcomed us with open arms and warm hearts. We were able to tour the church and we were even given a little history of the church. One thing that stuck out to me were the paintings that were in the windows of the church. Most of them were the original paintings dating back to the 17th century, which was something that I found really amazing. I honestly feel that this was a great way to start off the trip and when you start something off this great, it can only get greater. I am looking forward to a very interesting, fun-filled, everlasting experience this week in "The Delta".
