Montgomery's Capital

What a wonderful historical and charming city. I can't tell how wonderful and sweet everyone I came in contact with here. Everyone loved to chat and wanted to really know where you were from. I think I amazed a lot of folks because I was traveling all by myself and the fact I chose to visit Montgomery, which made my trip even more special because of the wonderful people.

Please check out Stephen-KarenConn's Montgomery Page they have a great page and it was my inspiration for visiting Montgomery;-)

Montgmery is taught by our textbook where legendary bus boycott took place which led to civil right movement. If I go to the U.S. maybe this is one of the cities to visit. Thank you for the info.

Another of your great page s Dee. An historical place to which you bring, as always, a human touch with those interesting personal cameos of some of the people who lived there.

Interesting tips on the civil rights and Martin Luther King sites, also Hank Williams. Great that you met that guy singing in the cemetery at HW's grave. I agree that crosswalk timers are an excellent idea. I saw some in Copenhagen.

The Blue Burrito. Do they use blue tortilla chips? One of my favorites is a great chili verde burrito. Yum!

What a splendid page, Dee! It was very interesting to see the First White House of the Confederacy and the Scott Fitzgerald Museum. I loved this writer in my youth... Thank you for sharing!
