4 marca przeprowadzilismy sie do Bainbridge w stanie Georgia, gdyz moj maz smieje sie, ze racji bycia weteranem, czas przenosic sie na poludnie i wygrzewac stare kosci :D Georgia to stan w poludniowo- wschodniej czesci USA, ktory graniczy od Polnocy z Tennessee, od wschodu z Karolina Poludniowa i Oceanem Atlantyckim, od poludnia z Floryda, od zachodu z Alabama. Polnocna czesc Georgii lezy w Appalachach, a na poludnie rozposciera sie Piedmont. Nazwa stanu zostala nadana na czesc krola Jerzego II Hanowerskiego (George II of Great Britain). Georgia byla jedna z trzynastu kolonii, ktore zbuntowaly sie przeciwko panowaniu brytyjskiego, co przyczynilo sie do rewolucji amerykanskiej. Poczatkowo Georgia byla kolonia hiszpanska. W Georgii panuje klimat morski, tropikalny, miejscowi mowia, ze generalnie lato trwa tu jedenascie i pol miesiaca :D Georgia ma przydomek Cesraskiego Stanu Poludnia, a takze nazywana jest Stanem brzoskwiniowym, ze wzgledu na to, ze wystepuje tu bardzo duzo drzewek brzoskwiniowych (my mamy dwa drzewa brzoskwiniowe na naszym podworku):) Z Georgii pochodzil Martin Luther King, a takze Julia Roberts i Jimmy Carter.
Bainbridge to miasto w hrabstwie Decatur polozone nad rzeka Flint, jedna z glownych rzek w Georgii. Populacja tego miasta to 12 000, z czego polowe stanowia czarni. Historia Bainbridge siege 1829 roku, kiedy to miasto zostalo zalozone przez komandora U.S Navy- William'a Bainbridge'a.
Havelock w Polnocnej Karolinie, czyli miejsce gdzie mieszkalismy dotychczas bylo dosc nowym miastem. Bainbridge natomiast jest miastem o wzorze typowo amerykanskim, ale nie da sie nie zauwazyc jak bardzo rowniez zabytkowe jest to miejsce, ze wzgledu na lata jego zalozenia. Poczatkowo jak tu przyjechalam to czulam sie troche jak na amerykanskim westernie. Bylo mi az dziwnie. Wszystko juz przeminelo z wiatrem:) Codziennie eksplorujemy z Majkiem nowe miejsca w naszym nowym miejscu zamieszkania, co jest dla nas niezwykle ekscytujace. z Bainbridge do stolicy Florydy, Tallahassee mamy okolo 30 minut drogi, do granicy ze stanem Alabama mamy 15 minut drogi, takze mozemy prowadzic zycie w trzech roznych stanach, majac jednoczesnie stale miejsce zamieszaknia w Georgii:):) W dwie godziny drogi z naszego domu, mozemy znalezc sie nad bialymi piaskami, nad Zatoka Meksykanska:) Nie potrzebujemy juz za duzo podrozowac w poszukiwaniu slonca:) Disney World znajduje sie 5h drogi od nas, Nowy Orlean, miasto nieustannych imprez- 5h:) Do Atlanty, stolicy Georgii mamy okolo 4h. To co kocham w Georgii to cieplo, cieplo i jeszcze raz cieplo!!! Jest tu po prostu cudownie cieplo! Kiedy przyjechalismy tutaj 4 marca, zanim dobralam sie do moich letnich ubran i butow, pomagalam rozpakowywac Majkowi nasza ciezarowke z zapakowanym domem z Havelock w sniegowcach i bluzce na ramiaczka:)
My mamy dom na zewnatrz miasta. Jest bardzo, bardzo cicho w porownaniu z poprzednim miejscem zamieszkania, gdzie prawie codziennie nad domem przelatywaly helikoptery i samoloty wojskowe z Cherry Point. Dom jest duzy, przestrzenny, w jasnych kolorach:) I tak to sobie zaczynamy zycie w nowym miejscu, juz po slubie i oczywiscie z zawsze wierna suka rasistka, ktora atakuje czarnych, a takze z dwoma kotami...:)
Bainbridge oprocz tego, ze jest to zabytkowe miasto, oczywiscie jest tam wszystko co nam potrzeba: przerozne sklepy, hotele, szpital, restauracje, kawiarnie... Mamy juz swoja ulubiona kawiarnie, w ktorej to zaczynamy dzien przepyszna kawa:) Wszedzie, gdzie sie poruszamy i mowimy, ze dopiero co sie tu przperowadzilismy, jestesmy witani przez mieszkancow, co jest bardzo mile:) No i oczywiscie poludniowy akcent .... :) Amerykanie na poludniu mowia wolniej, ale takze tak, jakby wlasnie zuli gume :D Kiedys uslyszalam od jednego Amerykanina z Teksasu takie zdanie: "Jestem z poludnia, moj angielski to smietnik" :D. Amerykanie z poludnia slyna rowniez z tego, ze sa bardzo mili, grzeczni i uprzejmi i rzeczywiscie mamy okazje to codziennie zauwazac. Idziemy do supermarketu WALMART, a tam wszyscy mowia nam dzien dobry i pytaja sie jak sie dzis mamy:) Mile prawda...? W Polsce to chyba niemozliwe :D Pierwszego dnia, jak tu przyjechalismy, wybralismy sie do sklepu, zeby kupic wode i spadl nam pod maska w samochodzie jakis pasek, nie moglismy dalej pojechac. Nie stalismy jednak na drodze nawet pieciu minut sami, co drugi samochod sie zatrzymywal z pytaniem czy moze jakos pomoc, widzac, ze ktos nam juz pomaga. W ciagu godziny bylo juz po sprawie:) Jeden Pan zatrzymal sie i dal mi karte podarunkowa VISA o wartosci $25, zebym sobie humor poprawila:)
Georgia slynie rowniez z tego, ze wszyscy pija tu herbate z lodem:) Would you like some sweet tea? :D
Mialam tez juz okazje odwiedzic Kosciol Metodystyczny, o ktorym rozpisywalam sie we wczesniejszym poscie:)
W Bainbridge kupilam rowniez w cale 15 minut swoja suknie slubna :D Najpierw weszlam do jednego sklepu nic mi sie nie podobalo:) Weszlam do drugiego sklepu, spodobala mi sie sukienka i wraz z przymiarka zakup sukienki zajal mi wlasnie wspomniane 15 minut:)
We moved to Bainbridge, Georgia on March 4th. My husband makes jokes that we moved to the South so he can warm up his old veteran bones. Georgia is a state in South East part of the United States. Georgia boarders to the north with Tennessee, on east with South Carolina and the Atlantic Ocean, on south with Florida and on west with Alabama. A northern part of Georgia is located in Appalachian mountains and a South part is in the Piedmont mountains. The Georgia name was given in honor of king George II of Great Britain. Georgia was one of the thirteen colonies, which rebelled against a British domination and at the end it was one of the causes of an American revolution. At the beginning Georgia was a Spanish colony. In Georgia there is a tropical maritime climate. Local people say that summer in Georgia last 11.5 months. Georgia has an Imperial Southern State nickname and also Georgia is called a Peach State, because there are a lot of peach trees. We have two peach trees on our yard. Martin Luther King Jr., Julia Roberts and President Jimmy Carter all come from Georgia.
Bainbridge is the largest city located in a Decatur county, on the Flint river. A Flint river is a one of the main river systems in Georgia. Bainbridge population is 27,000 and half are blacks. The city history is connected with the foundation of the city by U.S Navy commander William Bainbridge in 1829. Havelock in North Carolina was quite a modern town. Bainbridge is a typical American town, but it is also a vintage town because of the foundation years. First when I got here, I was feeling like I am at the American western, but it has passed. Every day we explore new places in Bainbridge and it is very exciting. From Bainbridge to capital of Florida which is a Tallahassee there is a distance of 30 minutes. To the border with the state of Alabama there is a distance of 15 minutes. We can have life in three different states same time. White sand beaches at the Gulf of Mexico are located 1.5 hours distance from our house. We don't need to look for the sun so far anymore:) Disney World is four hours of driving from us. New Orleans, the place of never ending party is six hours of driving from us:) Atlanta, the capital of Georgia is located about four hours of driving from us. I love Georgia because of hot weather! Here is incredibly warm! When we got to Georgia on March 4th before I found my summer clothes in big truck, I was helping Mike to unload truck in dressed in summer t-shirt and winter boots:)
Our house is located out of the city limit. Here is very calm compared to the previous place of residence, where almost every day we were able to hear flying military aircrafts from Cherry Point. Our new house is big, spacious, and in bright colors. Here we start our new, married life with a faithful racist dog, who attacks all blacks and we also have two cats:)
Bainbridge is a historical place, but you also will find there whatever you want as different stores, hotels, restaurants, cafes... We already have our favorite café, where we start our days with delicious coffee. Every place where we go and say that we are new here and we just moved, people welcome us with big hearts, which is very nice:) Other thing is of course the Southern accent! People here speak slower as if they chew gum. One time I heard from an American from Texas a sentence, "I am from the South, my English is a garbage" :D Americans from the South are very polite, nice, and helpful. We can really notice that as we go to Walmart and everybody says hello, how are you doing today?Isn't it nice? Honestly, I think that in Poland it is impossible. First day when we got to Georgia, under the hood in our car fell some kind of belt. We did not stay at the road even for five minutes. Every other car was stopping to ask if we need a help. It took one hour to have this issue done. One man stopped and gave me a $25 Visa gift card to improve my mood:)
Georgia is famous that everybody drinks here an ice sweet tea. Would you like some sweet tea? :D
I already visited the Methodist church that I mentioned about before.
I bought in Bainbridge my wedding dress and it took me about 15 minutes:) I went to the first store and I did not like anything. I went to the second store and I liked one. I tried it on and together it took me mentioned 15 minutes to get a wedding dress:)
