On the road again!

We’d like to say a special thank you to the Dowd and Selden families in Birmingham, AL.  Without them, our week hiatus from driving would have been…painful.  The Dowd’s warmly welcomed us into their home for a good week longer than we were expecting to be there, and we are eternally grateful for their unbelievable generosity and hospitality.  Thanks for feeding us, giving us warm showers and a pool to swim in, and even taking the group to a week-end retreat at the lake house!  Thank you to the Selden’s for some delicious meals, and for bestowing upon us our very own guardian “god” to watch over us for the rest of the tour; we are now proud owners of a “Vulcan” statue (check it out here), which is sitting on our dashboard as we make our way west!  Both families did wonders to keep our spirits up as we awaited our bus’s fate, and we can’t say enough how much we appreciate all of their support.
