Add to this twangy guitar songs about new loves, broken hearts, tractors, pick-up trucks, field, creeks and farming and you've just been introduced to a whole subculture of americana -Country
I never realized what an over the top nation the states are when it come to National pride. Living in Spain has grown said appreciation. Americans are nuts about our country. Rightly so in some regards maybe not so much in others. I mean I like to think I appreciate much of what comes from growing up in the states but man.....I've got nothing when compaired to the Citrus County Rodeo.
There was special emphasis placed on the Military there. 15 minutes of "Honoring" the armed forces while calling the US the best-est and free-est thing ever. I mean it is a rodeo so there were some....shall we say conservativly minded people but wow. I guess it was catering to it's clientel.
It was an eye opening experience..... lets leave it at that.
I've been working through some more Island Photos too so I'll work those in somehow too.
