This is our 'hold over' day - now only 190 miles from our condo that we'll spend the month. Had dinner at a Mexican Cantina and then did the tour bus around Montgomery. Ended up spending much time near and around the capital building and various museums.
Considering this is the birthplace of the civil rights movement, albeit, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, the march from Selma etc. there are many things to see. Also it was the capital of the confederacy when the Civil War began. Jefferson Davis was sworn into the Presidency on the steps we stood on this morning.
Phew - then after all that, we went to Martins for real southern fried chicken, cornbread, fried green tomatoes, lemonade and sweet tea. Unfortunately, there wasn't any room left for the huge pieces of pies they had.
