Birmingham, AL

We arrived on Wednesday and our first stop was to the dealer’s who was going to repair the A/C unit on the motor home. He was not busy and he looked at the unit immediately. Of course, a part had to be ordered which would not be in until Monday. We found a nice campground that had a pool and a shade tree. The Peters, Bob’s cousins, live in Hoover, AL which is a suburb of Birmingham. They invited us to dinner and it was great time visiting with Scott, Carrie and their 3 children, Jack, Stephanie and Michael.
Scott is in banking and Bob was able to catch up on all of the new laws concerning banking.
While in Birmingham, we took in the Civil Rights Museum, which is if we all remember our history, fought integration to the bitter end. The museum laid out the Civil Rights Movement both on a national and a local level. The museum itself is new so it brought the movement up into the present time which is the lst Civil Rights Museum that has taken it this far that we have seen.
Birmingham has a large, free of charge, art museum. The collections that they have on display are outstanding. We spent most of the day on Sunday and still had not seen all that the museum had to offer. It surprised us that a no charge museum would have such a variety of collections.
It was over 100 degrees so we also went to the movies one afternoon in order to stay cool.
The part for the A/C arrived on Monday which took about 10 minutes to put and then a half hour to check the A/C unit out and then we continued to make our way east.
