Start of cruise trip

Our first stop on the way to the cruise trip in New Orleans for our 50th anniversary was in Montgomery, AL to see the state capital.

The Alabama state flag is quite different from the other states. The state flag is a crimson cross of St. Andrew and was adopted in 1895. It is sometimes believed the flag was designed to resemble the blue satire of the confederate battle flag.

All of the state flags are displayed.
