Hockey Road Trip, Fall 2004

Week One - Southwest Sat, 10/16 - Fri, 10/22

Monday, 11/8

Today, I traveled from Pensacola, FL and ended up in Auburn, AL. On the way north and east, I continued to see Ivan damage.  Trees on top of houses, lots of work crews out cleaning up tree and branch damage from the highways.  Kudos to those guys and gals doing that.  I stopped in Montgomery, AL for a few hours to visit the State Capitol building.   I really wasn't expecting to like Montgomery that much.  The city surprised me.  I quite enjoyed my visit.  I basically toured the government area.  The State Capitol had a self guided tour.  It's a beautiful building. Much of the history I learned in Charleston (Civil War history) was enhanced by my visit here.  There was an excellent visitor's center housed in the old Union Station (railway station).   There's much more to see and do in Montgomery.  If I'm ever in the area again, I'd be sure to stop and visit.

Here's the State Capitol building in Montgomery with the American and Alabama flag flying strongly on this beautiful fall day.

I ate dinner at Snapper O'Malley's (a sports bar and grill).  There were two sports radio guys broadcasting live from the restaurant.  They talked about Auburn football and college football in general.  It was kind of cool being there as they broadcasted.  I, of course, could not contribute to the show.  I'm not a football fan.
