Huntsville

We had a great day with Lisa and Jim touring the sights of Huntsville. The first stop, after driving past Lisa's office, was the space and rocket centre.

This is a replica of the real one housed in a building just next door. The centre is a place where people, including school groups, can find out more about NASA and the US space programme.

This is a real rocket built and ready to launch before the mission was cancelled.

They also took us to the Tennessee river, the old part if town where there are some beautiful old homes, and the centre of town where we saw the very narrow canal that links the city with the river, the fresh water spring that originally brought people to settle in the area, and some HUGE fish in the ponds nearby.


After that it was time to get on the road and head back to Memphis. This is a picture of Lisa and Jim and two of their dogs just before we left for Heartbreak Hotel.
