Welcome to Patti Land! Several of us went to Joe Patti Seafood in Pensacola, FL. It is quality seafood at wholesale prices. We walked in to find fresh fish from one end of the building to the other. There was a long counter that displayed every kind of fish and shellfish from crabs and lobsters, scallops, clams and oysters, tuna, monk, amberjack, snapper, grouper, shark, talapia, orange roughy, croaker, flounder, triggerfish,and on and on. There was also a prepared foods section, deli, gourmet shop, a wine shop, sushi bar and gift shop. We purchased several pounds of different fish and medium shrimp that look for jumbo shrimp in Wisconsin. I finally got to try a small dish of gelato.
From there we went to the Pensacola Naval Air Museum. There were air planes from all eras including the 1st German jet that flew in WWII. LeRoy said it flew past the American planes without a problem but it was introduced too late in the war. The collection included a Canadian Otter plane, a MIG 15 from the Viet Nam era, President Nixon's helicopter, the fighter plane that President George H Bush flew, an Electra like Amelia Erhart flew, and a replica "fat boy", the name for the atomic bomb used in Japan. There were hundreds of airplanes to see. There were even 2-D and 3-D flight simulators for those who were brave enough to try. We watched one simulator that was commandeered by two boys. They were going crazy with the joy stick and screaming like school girls.
The coast line from Pensacola to Gulf Shores is covered with white sand, so fine they call it sugar sand. The beach houses are painted in many pastel colors and some are situated atop 10' high pylons in case of high water.
We wrapped up the afternoon with a lunch at the Hang Out restaurant on the beach where we had cocktails last week. Today's weather was overcast and the waves were crashing on the beach today unlike last week when the sun was shining, the beach was full and the gulf waters were much calmer.
From waffles this morning to Stone Cold ice cream this evening, it was a very calorie-laden day. There is 70% chance of rain tomorrow so it may be another good shopping day.
