Alabama

Interesting enough I lived here for a while as well, as a child and as an adult.  Loads of history came out of this state.  Rosa Parks made history in this state.  Martin Luther King, Jr. was quite a leader and helped plan and carry out the movement for equal rights, which we still debate to this day.  I believe we are starting to move past the point by seeing people as humans now instead of a class or what their ethnic background my have been.  Ok, enough history and politics, this is a beautiful state all in all.  Hills, farmland, even the beach on the southern most border into  the gulf of Mexico.  There are nice beaches but tourist areas mainly.  If you visit, travel around the middle of the state and see the outdoor parts.  Both Birmingham and Montgomery are near the center, if I remember correctly only about two hours apart.  Friendly people and interesting to meet.  I will be posting pictures within each post when I find them.
