Alabama is part of the deep south, although it is in the Northern Hemisphere, and North America. Today we headed further south, and ultimately ended up with quite a long drive through Florida. I have some preconceived ideas about Florida, and as we crossed the state line I was surprised to see how run down 'back-woods' America, it really was. After about 4.5 hours of travelling in the hired Suburban (7-seats, and colossal, but just what we need), we reached our destination - the A-frame house, or the triangle house, as the children call it. It's on Innerarity Point Road. It is a unique place, I have never seen anything like it before. Inside it is well furnished, but there are some odd things - there is no kettle, for starters.
Before our long drive, we collected lunch from Wendy's, and ate in the car, as the journey started.
In the evening we ate at Sunset Grille, a lovely restaurant on the waterfront, there was a slight delay as the outside tables were closed because of the weather, when it rains here, it really rains. There are rivers running down the sides of the roads in seconds. Most of the food was good when we got it, and the waitress was superb.
We went to the Pier in Gulf State Park. We saw a blue heron, which didn't look very happy and may have had something caught around one of its legs, pelicans (which Madelyn has decided are really Albatrosses), and watched as a family caught a catfish.
Finally, we watched the sunset, then home to bed.
