Sunday, February 23 -Mobile, Alabama

We left Athens, Alabama at 7:30 this morning and after driving through some heavy rains we arrived in Mobile around 2 o'clock. We drove to see the USS Alabama on the Mobile Bay. The park also had many different aircraft and a submarine, the USS Drum. I really enjoyed our visit, especially talking to a veteran who was signing copies of a book he had written about his time in a Japanese POW camp in the Philippines. Unfortunately, the rains made it very foggy and the visibility was quite poor but I managed a few good photos.

We ate at a very popular BBQ restaurant called Dreamland BBQ. Very good!  The Seton Center where we are staying is a former convent and although it is quite old, we are very comfortable. Tomorrow we build!
