A couple weeks ago, the RUF staff (and Kyle) piled into Les's minivan early Sunday morning, and made our way down to the booming metropolis of Greenwood, MS. It was my first experience in the Delta, and a great one.
For those of you who don't hail from the area, the Delta is basically a geographical anomaly - hundreds of miles of land flattened by an ancient glacier, thus making it in some ways America's breadbasket. As we drove down the road, Les pointed out the last of the hills on the right (east) and the beginning of the hundreds of miles of plateau to the west.
Les preached at Westminster Presbyterian Church, a beautiful church and home to a number of our beloved RUF freshmen. After church and meeting much of the congregation, one of the sweet ladies in the church took us and some students to lunch, Delta style - we ate at the Crystal Grille, and I'm pretty sure the food could have carried me over to Wednesday at least. It was delicious, maybe not so nutritious, and came in mass quantities.
Overall we had a great Greenwood/Delta experience, and I hope to make it back sometime. We stopped at a cottonfield on the way back, which makes for some fun pictures...
