We drove into the central time zone this morning so we gained an hour. We had a stop in Nashville, Tennessee and did the state Capitol building tour (seen more impressive state capitols but what the heck). We are having to tune our ears to the southern drawls (y'all). Had a wander around the city and had a coffee break sitting outside in the sun. We've seen daffodils in flower today, trees budding and flowering trees (probably dogwood and cherry blossom), definitely ahead of ours.
Drove on a couple of hours more until we reached Bessemer, Alabama and found another Best Western for the night. Bought some cheap beer in WalMart (can't do that in Canada!), and had dinner in a Cracker Barrel country restaurant which was very near the hotel. We left totally stuffed, couldn't face a dessert.
