The Longest Train in the World

So I spent my last day exploring Opelika, taking pics of the amazing azelias , getting my car ready for the next trip, then walking Historic Downtown..

While I was walking downtown, I kept hearing music, soft rock, and I thought to myself "hey go find the music and sit down"  well I could not find the venue with the music and was beginning to think I was tripping!  I finally figured it out...the music was coming from speakers that were mounted on each lamp post along the downtown...DUH

I also went to a cool little coffee shop called "Side Track" coffee.  I really never do designer coffee but I had heard about this shop, so I go in and order a Latte with almond milk...and there was no charge.  You could give them what you thought the coffee was worth, or you could just take one...A pay it forward coffee shop!  I loved it..I gave them 7.00  but really I have no ideal what my coffee would have costs if I had gotten it at Starbucks..but 7.00 sounded lucky!

I got my coffee and went out into the walkway path along the downtown, found a bench to sit on and listen to that invisible music...and sip my coffee...Very relaxing until....THE LONGEST TRAIN IN THE WORLD crossed right in front of me at about 3 miles an hour with more than 200 cars....OMG

I am in the hotel room right now, but around dinner, I am going to back to the downtown for dinner and a drink..then back to pack for my trip..
