Sweet Home Alabama

April 2 - After making our way through Florida and part of Georgia, we headed Northwest to Montgomery Alabama where we spent the night.  Woke up to the surprising delight of the deep South and continued warm weather. Made our way to the first White House of the Confederacy where Jefferson Davis resided and was greeted with a "man there are more Yankees that come through here..."  After a brief pitstop we took a tour of the Civil Rights Memorial where we were reminded of the troubles and strifes of black Americans.  Signed our names to the wall of tolerance pledging our commitment to stand up against social injustices and were back on the road.  Drove through part of Mississippi and landed in Memphis Tennessee where we took a brief tour of Graceland.  Stopped at the Lorraine Motel where we viewed the balcony of room #306 where Dr. Martin Luther King was shot.  Jumped back on the road for St. Louis.  What a day!
