Day 97, November 6th, 2009
Its a large marina, covering quite an irregular area so its a bit difficult to get a good shot. However, do you see that lovely big palm tree?!
Woke up to beautiful sunshine. T- shirts and shorts!!!! It was a lovely quiet day to get a few chores done and relax. I got the laundry done and updated the blog. John felt more ambitious and got busy on his project to install a new light over the mirror in the head. He had tried once before but had run into trouble running the wiring. Today, with his stubborn persistence, was finally successful! Now he's going to find it easier to shave and I shall put the mascara on the eyelashes instead of my nose!!
Pat and Diane were busy on the phone. We had decided to hire a car together and drive the 2 hours to New Orleans to do some sight seeing Sunday and Monday. Pat was able to get us bookings at the Raddison in the French Quarter which looks lovely.
It was Diane's birthday today, so just as John had managed to get the new light sorted out, it was time to go. The six of us walked the short distance to the Mobile Yacht Club where we had a lovely dinner together.
Hi Gil And John We have been following your trip exploits and the description of the stormy weather, pretty exciting. Your trip to N.O. brought back many memories of the city, its beautiful homes and its music, especially the preservation Hall Dirt Band. Those people were all in their 80's when we were there 15 years ago! Good luck with the next leg of your journey and keep that excellent journalism coming.
