Florida Day 3


We woke to a LOT of singing robins and sun and 60 degrees. We had a longish trek through rush hour in Nashville and hit a new state for us, Alabama, at 10:30. Trees are in bloom and it's really sunny. The Welcome Centre had azaleas in bloom and a Saturn 1B Rocket (made in nearby Huntsville) AND, apparently, the world's highest urinal (or so I was told).

We crossed the wide Tennessee River and headed to 70 degrees in Cullen (along with a sign for Warrior Robbins-okay we thought it was funny given our early-morning red red Robins). We also saw the first convertible with the top down (and a few more later).

It was 75 by lunch in Greenville (with our first dandelion and Mockingbird!). More easy driving and we decided to stop in Castleberry, Alabama, at the Country Living RV Park ($10.50). It's a dozen sites in a field and quite nice. We were regaled with a very talkative, self-professed Hillbilly who told us more than we needed to know about a lot of things (along with the warning about the Wild Boar and Pythons in the park...AND the Armadillos who feast on the pecans from the trees around us). He was sweet and the day was good. Pensacola and the beach tomorrow!

Here's the view from my chair (with some Purple Martins in their gourd houses):
