Restored RR station Capitol Building Civil Rights Monument
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. From Selma to Montgomery AL, following the march for civil rights in the 60's. The marchers arrived at the Capitol from Selma. Great government building complex, church where MLK preached in the 50's, (resulting in the march and integration of Montgomery busses by Rosa Parks), civil rights memorial (Maya Lin) and Civil War monuments, first Confederate White House, etc. Why can't Sacramento have as wonderful a visitor's center, in the old railroad depot, with shuttles to the major governmental buildings? We parked Betsy there for 2.5 hours, free, safely, comfortably. Wonderfully restored building.
Food: Had my fill of Southern cooking today with fried chicken, turnip greens, cole slaw, and pineapple/cheese/Ritz crackers casserole, warm, as dessert. for lunch. I kid you not. And for dinner Gene had oyster po'boy and I a shrimp po'boy in a local roadhouse with a roll of paper towels on oilcloth covered tables. Yum yum.
