A slight delay in blogging as I had to take more pictures. Two full weeks on vacation is a long time but I am no longer feeling guilty about sleeping in every day, going out to eat every day or having cocktails any afternoon.
We ate once again at Lambert's, the only home of throwed rolls. It's a nationally known rstaurant for 70 years where they will toss a HOT softball size roll to anyone with their hand up.
A sunny day presented an opportunity to dine surf-side at a place called The Gulf. The restaurant was made of blue shipping containers with a menu written on a huge blackboard. To keep the birds away from the diners on the patio, heavy fishing line was crisscrossed about 14' overhead. The sun was hot, the sea air was fresh, the food was good and the white sand beach all made for a great dining experience.
New to Gulf Shores is a zip line course. We spotted 7 wooden towers up to 90' high on the Gulf highway. These towers were constructed since October 2012, after some licensing issues, for a one mile zip line course. The course goes over several bodies of water, takes about 2+ hours and reservations are suggested.
The Wisconsin RVers were all invited to a gathering at the Clubhouse for introductions and coffee. One afternoon I went to the Clubhouse to watch the movie, "The Master", only to have to come home and "google" what the movie was about. Hump day wine and beer party mid-afternoon on Wednesdays. There was a coffee talk presentation by Richard Parker, America's RV speaker and author. His schtick was that we invest our IRAs in sites at Bella Terra to maintain our cash flow and net worth. Sure, OK, we will get right on that.
Today we were invited for fresh farm eggs and bacon with Dick & Judy Hebbe. They have a small hobby farm and brought along 8 dozen eggs. After helping them out by eating some of those eggs we were off to Lowe's for some herbs and palms. Once again, at 4 today, we are invited for cocktails and hors d' oeuvres at a fellow WAW RVer. And to wrap up tonight, a couple staying at BT is giving a talk with slides of their recent trip to Guatemala.
As we made our way around the Foley and Gulf Shores area, we spotted many RV parks, even toured a few, everything from a state park to luxury beach house/class A motorhome sites. For some reason, I like BT, away from the madness yet close enough to go to huge outlet malls, supermarkets, fresh fish markets and beaches. Gotta love the palm trees!
