bama vacation

we took a little road trip from austin to birmingham (with a stopover in dallas) starting on december 20th. the road trip, which might also be described as a road test because it was essential in determining how compatible of travel buddies we'd be, was a wild success. the highlights included calisthenics in a truckstop parking lot, an oldies radio station dj in mississippi wishing rhys a happy birthday four months too early, and getting pulled over (and not ticketed) twice by cops who just thought we looked suspicious. anyways, here's a picture of map of birmingham etched into the ground outside of the vulcan statue in b'ham.



and here's a picture of nicole pointing the way we came from into birmingham.
