Demopolis, AL still!







Day 90, October 30th, 2009
We had the car booked for 9:00. Paul and Sue still having troubles. Another part arrived yesterday from England. The mechanics were working on it again after talking to the Sonic people in England, early in the morning. Sue was having problems with her computer, perhaps picked up a bad virus?!! So they couldn't join us. However, Pat and Diane came along with us. We visited Bluff Hall, another beautiful old house owned by the Historical Society, built in the 1830s, and extended 15 years later. This was the family's town house, where Mr. Lyons lived when he came to town. The family mainly lived at the 25,000 acre plantation outside of town.
We really enjoyed our escorted tour around the home. Bluff Hall is the home with the big square columns on the front. The other houses are on the same street.

Once back at the marina, I continued my scrubbing job, this time down the port side and the dinghy too. Boat looks much better - should do, I went through 3 bottles of spray cleaner to get the crud off!!

After a nice snooze, we all got together on Sharpie's Dream for Pina Coladas and munchies. Its a hard life. Sue managed to find someone to fix the computer but now he hasn't phoned her back. We are hoping we shall be able to move on tomorrow morning.
