Just a quick post tonight. We are huddled under a makeshift fort watching The Patriot. Forgot Heath Ledger was in this movie. Moment of silence.
Today was a gorgeous day in "B-ham," though it was HOT. There was some serious sweating going on. It was an easy day though -- no manual labor today. We bopped around Birmingham distributing flyers and posters for Dining For Life, a fundraiser for AIDS Alabama. We were taken aback at just how friendly local business owners were to us. One even gave us free bottled water before we left her studio!
After our volunteer duties, we headed to the bookstore of the University of Alabama at Birmingham to snag some swag. Most everyone got T-shirts, but I personally headed to the cafe for a much needed cup of frozen yogurt. While there, the cashier noticed the T-shirt I was wearing said Mizzou and told me that she was from St. Louis. She upgraded my small, plain froyo to a large with candy toppings, whipped cream and strawberry syrup! We have all encountered so many Mizzou fans in Birmingham. One woman downtown even stopped working in her office to catch us on the side of the street to talk about Mizzou and our work with ASB when she noticed our MU shirts! Raha seemed to get a kick out of the woman's dog.. And every other dog we've seen so far.
Tomorrow we are headed to the Civil Rights Museum and to explore the campus of U of Alabama. This week has flown by.
Just one more day!
