Birmingham - AIDS

Day 5

Today was our free day and we were excited to explore more of Birmingham! We began our day at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. The gardens were absolutely outstanding and we had a great time exploring the area and taking pictures. The group was especially impressed by the Japanese gardens. After spending the morning at the botanical gardens, we headed to Tuscaloosa to check out the University of Alabama. The university is only 45 minutes from where we are staying in Birmingham. Everyone loved the campus and many people bought Alabama t-shirts as souvenirs. Roll tide! We ate lunch at a pizza place called the Mellow Mushroom and then Helena, Whitney, and Kim got the opportunity to tour the chapter houses of their respective sororities. We finished our day with a movie and got to bed early to be ready to work at AIDS Alabama tomorrow!
