Alabama and Mississippi

Posted on

Our trip to Alabama took us to Birmingham and the Civil Rights Institute. We watched the US Women beat England in the World Cup at a local brewery. Our drive through Mississippi on the way to New Orleans was brief.

Love the name!
Mississippi, along with most of the southern states we drove through, was miles and miles of these lush green trees
This was the only logging operation we saw
Lots of NASA related spots could be seen from the road
