Bog walk
Chris took a
long walk this morning while I stayed behind and caught up on some RV cleaning
and maintenance. The hot weather has returned and it did not take long to warm
up so after her walk and my work we had lunch and decided to head down to the
beach again. I cannot get over the
beautiful beaches they have especially after the terrible oil spill of a couple
of years ago. I have no idea how they cleaned up but they did a heck of a job.
Yet another perfect day
Our reserved spot
After the
beach we stopped to see what is referred to as the last great American Road
House, the Floa-Bama. It is on the beach at the Florida Alabama border. There
are many bars some inside some outside many stages both in and out. It appears
to be the “hot spot” for the younger crowd.

We decided
to try a restaurant for supper that was referred to us by the manager of the
campground we stayed at in Fairhope last week. She said it was the “best local
fare” we would find. But she cautioned that the place had no atmosphere. With a
recommendation like that we had to try it. On the first account the food was
good not great on the second she was dead on, no atmosphere.
No atmosphere here
On the way
back from the restaurant we saw a sign for a Pitcher Plant Bog. It was a very
pretty place with a long board walk that takes you out into the marsh. There
were Pitcher Plants everywhere.

I know that I have seen this guy before
As a bonus
for the day Chris saw an alligator in a small stream as we were driving to the restaurant.
I did not witness such sighting however but I guess I believe her.
