Motorcycles galore!

After settling in Sunday we looked over what there was to see and do. Yesterday we went to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in Leeds which houses the largest motorcycle collection in North America. Represents 17 countries, 125 manufacturers and builders and also houses a collection of Lotus and Porsche cars that the founder, George Barber, raced and won. Talk about sensory overload! After wandering around for 4 hours, we decided that we couldn't take anymore - would have to spend a couple of days if you were a cyclist or into bikes/racing.

And the temps here! Wow. Shirt sleeve weather - was 78 during the day, and no furnace and space heaters last night. Finally. Supposed to have light rain showers today and that's okay - it's warm and that's all we care about. Will be heading to an Antebellum mansion (pre Civil War mansion) for a tour today. Then grocery shop to get ready to hit the road tomorrow morning. We are changing our plans a little - not head to Summerdale (near Mobile) but instead head to Panama City Beach, east of Pensacola.
