What a beautiful area and NO rain today. Just a few floating thunderheads, but no rain. Great day. We left southern Alabama and started our journey north. Montgomery brought us to the Rosa Parks museum. What a humbling stop. We stood on the corner where Rosa first caught the bus that she refused to give her seat to a white person, starting the end to segregation as it was known. Amazing experience and very educational. Hot there though with this bug issue. The photo is outside the restaurant we were recommended to eat at...we did not eat there.
Leaving the city we were on our way to a scenic drive in the mountains of Northeastern Alabama. How beautiful. I could live in this area...except for the snakes and humidity. Beautiful and woodsy. The road I had planned to take apparently turns to a dirt road after a few miles. I should have gotten the 4wd rental car! We had to take a numerous amounts of small "rough" roads back to civilization, but boy was it beautiful! Some of the houses we expected to hear banjos playing in the distance...no stops and keep the doors locked! But seriously everyone has been so kind and fun to listen to here. Just about 20 miles from Georgia tonight. Heading to Birmingham tomorrow and then off to the west side of Alabama for one more nite. Such a beautiful state!

Ahhhh yes. The bugs. Lovely. Sounds like a fun adventure on those back roads! Beautiful place too. Think these mountains may be the end if the blue ridge mountains? Looks a bunch like Asheville NC. Beautiful! And seriously love to see the Rosa Parks museum! Jealous! She is one of my heroes. What an amazing woman!
