Alabama Comfort

Alabama, here I am! Another state, more “strangers” I’ve never met, and some great hospitality. It starts with a great dish of spaghetti and sweet tea (which I am completely addicted to). The following morning I woke up to a couple dozen fresh muffins, chocolate and apple cinnamon. Things are off to a good start.

This strop is a represented by a couple girls from Alpha Omicron Pi sorority at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Greek and sorority life was something I never learned too much about while at Michigan State, so I’ll be learning a lot about another aspect of college life. If I’m lucky I might even get to attend their formal on Friday night. Good thing I have my dress clothes.

Well folks, I’ve got some news for you, at least it was news to me. Birmingham is Tree City. As I climbed to the top of the Vulcan tower I looked around shocked by all the trees. I was blown away by the bright green and rolling hills. The trees are endless! Frankly I just had no idea. It truly is Tree City and one of the greenest places I have seen, and green trees means comfort.
