We have a client in Birmingham now so I decided to fly in on an early morning flight and explore the city. The rest of the team will fly in on an evening flight. Either way, the hotel is paid for tonight so I might as well explore.
If you pay extra, you have the option of taking the elevator or the stairs up to the top of the statue. I paid the extra, and got to see more of the city, though the view was similar to the bottom of the statue.
I was able to walk through the huge site. I could just imagine what it was like surrounded by smoke and with hundreds of workers walking around. The self-guide pamphlet had a map and a walking path to follow. I walked around looking at the different equipment and what it was used for.
The museum was very interesting and informative. By the time I finished, they had resolved the technical difficulties and were able to play the movie so I watched it. After the movie was over, the screen went up and I was back to where I started in the museum. This time though I went through mostly without stopping since I had already walked around. I then went to the hotel to check in and drop off my bags after grabbing something to eat. I only had a couple of minutes of down time before I had to get in my car and drive to the airport. The rest of the team was flying in, so I was able to drop off my rental and hitch a ride back to the hotel with them.
