Mar 17 - Tuscaloosa, AL-visit with William Reilly

  Today we spent the day in Tuscaloosa, AL, at the University of Alabama.  We hiked the trails along the River Walk (couple of miles), in a very nice park along the river just across from the University.  We sat in the sun and read a bit. Then we met up with Peter's son, William, and his girlfriend, Chelsea.  Had a delicious dinner and nice conversations.
   Since I didn't want to drive the 1-1/2 hour drive back to the RV, and since we are having lunch tomorrow with William, we decided to stay in a motel for the night.  Unfortunately, we stopped at an Econolodge, right on the route into Tuscaloosa.  I guess you get what you pay for.  Not exactly up to my standards.  Oh well.  Live and learn--again.
  Oh yes, I wanted to mention that spring is definitely here in Alabama.  Lots of flowering trees, azaleas, forsythias, and even a tulip!  So nice to see.
