Coming out of Hibernation

To all our friends back home who are fed up with the unrelenting wind……

……we feel your pain.

We are leaving the “Forgotten Coast” of Florida  today, on our way to Gulf Shores AL, the “Redneck Riviera”. We have scheduled a 2 day stop near Pensacola to break up the drive a bit.

Although it has generally been cold and windy, the temperatures have finally started to warm up. We really enjoyed our 4 weeks in this area. Here are some of the hi-lights of our stay in St. George Island, Port St. Joe and Apalachicola.

 Oysters!

Really large oysters (yes, I happened to have a tape measure with me)

Paddy's Raw Bar, " the sunny place for shady people". That's what the sign says.

The Beach, even though we didn't spend a lot of time there.

Cappuccino Muffins from the Bakery in town. Unbelievable!

And meeting New Friends.

Tonight we are perched atop a fairly steep bank with a river/bayou/swamp in front of us. Nice view, no bugs (yet).

I'll get some pictures soon.

The bar opens an hour later tonight, we crossed into central time.
