Though there was a storm overnight the weather dried up and we ventured into Montgomery once more. This time we visited the Roas Parks Museum to find out more about the Bus Boycott. It was very interesting. We then had lunch a Lunde’s, which is a café that is in the Bell Building, which was Montgomery’s first skyscraper, built in 1899. It was full of ornate stone work, very interesting, the Roast Beef sandwich was good as well. In the afternoon we visited the house where Martin Luther King and his family lived when they were in Montgomery, this was interesting and also moving to be where you could picture Martin Luther King living there, perhaps relaxing, drinking coffee with family and friends. It was also where the boycott was organized from.
On the way home we picked up a Strawberry Pie from Shoney’s, bringing back memories as we had shared a really nice one with Bob and Ginnee when we were at Hiawassee.
