Head and Feet Sleep So Sweet... Grits and Lutesfik

OK... 430 am and just got done with our early morning stop... I believe it was Lisa who saved the day and convinced the bus driver to stop for her. Until this point everyone was quiet with their feet in the air on a chair across the isle and anywhere to sleep. We had a bit of a detour through Memphis but saw some great parts of the city. Our cultural education has already begun, we have learned what grits looked like, Josh asked what the stuff with the yellow stuff on top was? The clerk answered "GRITS"... "DON'T you eat breakfast son?" She looks at me and says "Don't you feed this boy?" I explain he has probably never seen Grits and again she says "What you don't like breakfast" She didn't get we didn't have Grits in our vocabulary after I told her we actually eat Lutefisk... she was perplexed and dismissed us as crazy and didn't have a clue what Lutefisk was.... Grits and Lutefisk quite the comparison.
