he took the tour and he enjoyed it. he got to thinking on his way back, mobile which is close to 300 years old, and he heard his family discussed a lot of the contributions african-americans had made, so i think this is something we could do in mobile and do it well. he started looking around the city for someone to take on the opportunity of a challenge just depending upon the perspective they looked at it from. after nine months of searching, he found a young lady that said, i will take on the opportunity. her name was dora franklin finley. dora was my double first cousin. that's another tour. we won't take that one today, but she accepted the opportunity. she spent five years of her life doing research on places that african-americans had made significant contributions to the city of mobile. when she finishes, she had 39 locations throughout the city. we will visit about 20 of those today. if i took you on all of them it would take us 6 hours. i would have to find out how you like your fish. fried or broiled? do you

next, a look at one of our city's tour visits. this museum has been in our community for almost 60 years, and it is an important part of the community because we highlight the local natural history, local cultural history, and even some of the local science education. we do a lot of partnerships with texas a&m university. we have exhibits that are here long-term and short-term. we do lots of children's education, and we even have some live animals. so i would like to show you a few things about our museum that we are so proud of. if you look over this direction, you will see a mural that we are incredibly proud of. it was done by a nationally recognized artist, painted on site. it has been here since about 1993, 1995, and it is the only place where you can see the brazos valley as it was 12,000 years ago and realize that some of the animals that are portrayed in the mural where the predecessors of our modern species. 12,000 years ago, we have lions, tigers, and bears in the brazos valley. that is something a lot of our visitors re

they are having those england tour party tests verified.irmed positives. they want to double check and make sure they are not false positives. absolutely real uncertainty surrounding the rest of this tour. what are the knock—on effects, do you think, for the following matches? there is no guarantee that any matches will be taking place now. as i say, there are talks ongoing. there are supposed to be three games. they managed to move one into monday. monday was supposed to be a fallow day but they managed to move the friday game into monday. they were supposed to be playing today, tomorrow and wednesday but only now room for the two games. hard to imagine they would try to squeeze three games in on monday, tuesday and wednesday but of course very desperate times for cricket south africa. this tour is worth a huge amount of money for them, a decent seven—figure sum, so they will be very keen to get the games on if possible. absolutely the safety of the players does come first. you would think as well there would be huge concern within the eng

we don't give nearly as many tours as we used to. but what's a real shame is that normally the heidelberg castle theatre festival is held here in the council yard they rehearse here and that's always nice to watch for us to encompass all that's being cancelled and it's really a shame if it's a seshat a. kind of birds old town feels almost deserted maybe it's the rain but perhaps it's also the corona crisis. to answer that question i meet up with my t.l. shima managing director of hydra back marketing. mr sheen where a walking across the square is here and. heidelburg how would you say the numbers of tourists has changed compared to this time last year that's. in january and february we had 14 percent more overnight stays even though the pandemic was already known to be on the way but the figure struck rapidly in march and april we had cancellations of up to 100 percent and in the hotels and restaurants were devoid of life they closed up as required and it was eerie what you did and yes how does a visitor figures look right now lookin

it was underwhelming, the tour. and she was -- and i say that in a way that jackie kennedy was not putting mamie eisenhower down or grandstanding that i come from wealth and i can make the white house look beautiful, she just thought this should be repaired as a people's house as a repository for u.s. history. she thought the arts and furnishings needed to be upgraded and the objects in the white house should be administered by the smithsonian institution instead of it being done in a willy-nilly way, and she took this on because, as we mentioned, she had two children, little children. she was not looking to go traveling with little kids, so she was in the white house a lot and it gave her a project to identify with. the beautification of the white house, and it becomes such a big event because not only does she do a first rate job -- remember, john f. kennedy did the same thing with air force one. he did this massive restoration. air force one should look good, the white house should look good, the rose garden shou

in the new year, but also sri la nka tour in the new year, but also sri lanka and pakistan, so theyose boards that are going to south africa is safe. they don't wa nt to south africa is safe. they don't want thoughts that their bubbles can be easily penetrated, so what has happened in the last hour or so is that western province, who are the local association, have basically pointed the finger of blame at england for going into an area on the practice ground that was cordoned off and was not part of the bubble at all, a practice area that they used without permission. now, england are saying, we did try and play it, but the practised dollar practice pitches we were given were not fit for purpose. south africa are desperate to prove they are not to blame for this series collapsing, they need these other countries to go there on tour. they are already going to lose about $4 million as a result of this tour going down the pan, and they simply cannot afford for other countries not to come. tom curran is the latest player to pretty much say they've had enough of this strange existence, o
