A Day in Florence, Alabama

We returned from Florence and visited with Greg, Mandy, Sue, and Mark. Manuel set up the auto timer on the camera so we could all be in this photo.There were some beautiful homes in this Historic District in Florence which was right by the University of North Alabama.

This is Bob Tiffin's home. It is beautiful!
Sue & Mark in front of one of the fountains on campus.
They had a male and female lion on display. They are shown below along with a statue of the family of lions.

We walked the campus of the University of North Alabama. They have beautiful grounds with a lot of metal/bronze statues. Their buildings are of very unique structure and design.
Manuel and Mark pose next to these beautiful statues.
We went and had lunch/dinner at Rosie's Cantina which is like a Pappasito's in San Antonio. We all had soup and salad, except Mark. He had chile rellenos. It was very good.Our waitress took our picture. Sue, Mark, Greg, Mandy, Manuel and I decided to take a drive to Florence. On the way there, we visited the Coon Hounds Cemetery. This is the only cemetery in the world and the first dog was laid to rest in 1937.There were many dog plots. Some had headstones made of marble, stone, and iron. We looked through all the plots. Very interesting!
