Hillbilly said:It is funny, I have been thinking of this thread for about a day now. It sort of sticks in my mind.
I could probably turn this into something really DR related, since Americo Vespucci, who gave us the name of "Americans" went through here.
Jack--I know I have a bit of Cherokee in me, and probably a bit of Mayan--so don't take offense (it wasn't me that mentioned 'Native Americans'), but I have given this a bit of thought and have decided that I will no longer call any tribal personage by other than the name First Americans.
Why? Well, first off, they are not "Indians," we know that was a misnomer.
And second, they are not really "native" since, like all the rest, they are descendants of immigrants.
So please allow me to respectively call tribal members, First Americans, it seems more appropriate.

Virginia last night from St. Louis.................I don't suggest going too fast on I-64 at night, even though it's fun to drive on a mountain road with no guard-rails ...............and I was not aware that Charleston was such a big city. it took me more than 45 minutes to go thru it.
sunshine_79 said:Yes, Charleston is gorgeous! If you ever have a chance, make that drive from STL to the east during the autumn months - absolutely breathtaking.
But man, oh man is it ever a long drive! I recall the portion on I-64 being something like 600 miles.
Louisville is also a very beautiful city.
