Birmingham, Alabama

Now in Birmingham, Alabama.  I don't think they get too many Australians here.  People seem very surprised to hear our accents and keep asking why we are here and telling us we're a long way from home.

Had dinner at Sweet Bones Alabama.  Amazing barbeque.  Bizarre fried pickles, great brisket, pulled chicken and steak + sides of collard greens, white beans and coleslaw. 

It was a long day today - 3 1/2 hour flight from San Francisco to Houston, then another flight from Houston to Birmingham.  Bad coffee, crappy service on Continental. 

Started very early this morning driving to San Francisco airport - all good, other than a detour over the Bay Bridge when M misread the driving instructions and directed me most of the way to Oakland airport instead of San Francisco airport.
