...and that's just from today's drive, and just along I-20.
Had a lovely visit with Brian and his mom in Birmingham, where I got a great personal tour of the sites: the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, the Vulcan, the obligatory ice cream stop, and, of course, the mall. Well, actually, we just saw a movie at the mall. I assume it was a mall...hmm. I'm not very observant.
Brian is much more photogenic than I am! Especially when he is holding Yahtzee.
So, my dad is fine--he had gallbladder surgery on Wednesday, and is now home--and my car seems to be behaving, so I am going on to Austin as originally planned. I still haven't heard whether or not my application to do research at the Episcopalian archives in Austin was approved...although I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. I really think six weeks should be enough to get that done (I sent in the app May 9, I think). But what do I know. Maybe they need to get my FBI file or something.
Tonight I'm staying in Vicksburg, MS, right on the Mississippi River. The main industries of Vicksburg seem to be riverboat gambling and the Civil War.
