Running brings together
space and music in more ways than one. Birds sing out before 5:00 am. What a divine
way to begin a great day out in nature's space listening to her music. Space
and music are the forces that often pull Shannan and me to Huntsville, AL over
and over again. We have visited the Rocket City on several occasions,
mostly for events at the NASA Space Center, but also to attend Sister Hazel
concerts.
A Werner Von Braun
exhibit at the Space Center provided the "pull" this time. Even in
the "recession" the city of Huntsville has experienced significant
growth in businesses and new home construction. Many of the places we have
visited over the years have dramatically changed, yet the southern charm of the
city remains the same.
Over the course of the
weekend we toured the Burrett Museum on Monte Sano Mountain. The view alone is
worth the time. We also made our requisite stop for dinner at
Gibson's BBQ. There's a lot more to Huntsville than just space
and music. We need to see and do more. In our short stay, I enjoyed two
fabulous runs in the beautiful city listening to the nature's song.
If not in Huntsville,
run somewhere.
