Last Day in NC

Very last day in NC for the next two years.

Although I slowly came to love North Carolina, (moved here in 5th grade from Miami so who would like to suddenly be placed in what I thought of as "the country") I really feel like this is a wonderful place to live. You have the beautiful beautiful beach, that for the most part is not commercial and so quaint and cottage like. Not to mention all the history of the outer banks, and the islands that inhabit wild horses. I have spent most summers/vacations at a NC beach for my entire life and there is absolutely no where else that feels more like home, happy memories and relaxation.

On the other side of the state you have the blue ridge mountains; there is nothing like it in the world. For a bible belt state- Western NC is a mixture of Wiccans, churches, waterfalls, blue grass, Chaco's and a lot of humanism.
And you have the middle part of the state, which has the "research triangle" and a 42% population of people with college degrees.

I'm moving to Indiana tomorrow, land of the Hoosiers (even though according to my family, a hoosier is a piece of furniture with cabinets; is that a southern thing?)

Home is where the heart is, and home for me is North Carolina.
