The third adventure: Tuscaloosa, Alabama

My eldest Flat girl, Sunny, writes:

We are in Tuscaloosa, Alabama right now. Tuscaloosa is named after the Choctaw Indian Chief "tushka lusa", which means black warrior. According to history reports, chief tushka lusa was very wise and tall. He fought the Spanish explorer Hernando Desoto around 1540, at a settlement near Tuscaloosa. He disappeared in that battle. The city of Tuscaloosa is 1 day older than the state of Alabama, and the university of Alabama was the first public college. Next we are going with one of our aunts and her family to Rome, Italy. Ciao!
