this is a statue in birmingham, al. of the greek god, Vulcan. He hangs out on a hill that overlooks the city.









We hiked to the base of this waterfall yesterday. It is called Burgess Falls.




our adventures ...

we drove to brimingham with an idea of going to see Isis, but the show was sold out. instead, we explored the campus and ended up scoring some food from a building that was probably not supposed to be unlocked. we fell asleep listening to al franken on the boombox in a parking garage.

the next day, we went to what may be one of my favorite health food stores - Golden Temple Foods! We asked if they had any food to throw away and were amply rewarded for our inquiry. Loaded with six new meals, we drove out of Alabama and into Tennessee.

we are now in cookeville,TN, at the cusp of the Appalachian Mountains. We are staying with Marshall's brother and sister-in-law (They are sooooo nice!) for around a week, and then we are heading to a Peace March (founded by answercoalition) on the 17th.



We miss you!


Safe travels,
Jeanie
