We toured downtown Montgomery today. We were a little worried about going downtown since the areas we've experienced off base so far have been pretty rough, but it was actually really nice. We rode trolleys around town and saw several historical places, such as the Alabama State Capitol building where Jefferson Davis was sworn in as President of the Confederacy. We also saw the First White House of the Confederacy, a church where Martin Luther King Jr. was pastor, and the place where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man. Montgomery is a very historical city and it was amazing to see the places where so many events took place in the Civil Rights Movement. We were hot and exhausted after our day of sightseeing and all we could think of was getting a coke. We are sure glad we are here in Novemeber and not in the middle of the summer. It would be unbearable!
