Alabama is beautiful- maybe you already knew that, but maybe not because we haven't seen a lot of tourists here. We've been riding wooded, rolling hills with pretty little southern towns every ten miles. There's obvious poverty all around, but it could be what makes people so willing to help us out.
I've seen road signs with bullet holes all over the country, but down here it's hard to find one without them. It's also hard to find good produce! Next watermelon I see is getting eaten.
We've been riding at around 200 feet above sea level, dipping to 80 now and then. I'm going to try and keep track as we make are way toward the Smoky Mountains.

Ira-You've got a little gun thing going on lately!!
hey y'all-
this is andrea i live in chicago (moved from atlanta about 3 yrs ago) and i'm friends with sara hunt, sarah higgins and pat. sarah higgins mentioned that you guys will be going through atlanta (not sure when exactly) pretty soon so i wanted to give you some ideas of places to check out:
flying biscuit- most amazing biscuits ever. i rec. the candler park location as its the original and a great neighborhood:

97 estoria- a few of my friends work there and they have a decent menu and cocktail selection and the neighborhood (cabbagetown) is pretty cool:

lennys-used to be this great dive bar that was super cheap and had good shows, it has moved to a new location since i moved up here. i can't really vouch for the new space, but they still have cheap shows-- and i know you like to dance andrea, and you can def. shake it here on one of the dj nights (march 31st looks like a great night for that!):
