Come back to North Alabama and see our gators in the wild. Why do you feel conflicted about the"Deep South?" Did you expect to see big plantation houses with slaves working out in the fields? Civil rights protests with police mowing down protestors with fire hoses? Were you disappointed by the lack of big-bellied sheriff's and chain gangs? I have encountered people from elsewhere in the US (and the world) who are bewildered when they don't find that here.
We would absolutely love to see some gators! The conflicted feelings come from what we actually did see doing our visit - things like KKK flags flying, and numerous landmarks honoring the confederacy including prominent monuments, state parks, and clubs to join. For us, it's hard to reconcile enjoying our time in a place (the Deep South) while knowing that these things are still celebrated there.
So good
Thank you!
That area is beautiful! Appreciate that you shared it with us.
No gators in the wild?
Much ❤
Thank you!! It really was such a great area to visit.
