Once we cleared the condensation off the windows this morning we noticed a distinct lack of grey stuff in the sky. As the morning progressed the sky turned a nice shade of blue and the sun emerged. We actually got close to 60F today!
Spent the morning playing with clamps and putting an antenna mast on the back of the trailer, got the antenna mounted on the mast, should raise a few eyebrows!
After lunch we headed off to the town of Fairhope, about 20 miles away to the West on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. We drove cross country to get there and noticed a huge difference between rural Alabama and rural Florida. Florida had a dry parched look with sand as the basic soil, lots of trees but very few crops or animals. Alabama is much greener with cultivated fields and a lot more cattle. Also, the housing looks a lot better here, les trailer sites and more brick houses that look better cared for.
Fairhope was a little like Merrickville-on-the-Sea, numerous antique stores and restaurants, old but well cared for buildings and tourists! They were preparing for their Mardi Gras parade, many people are wearing long strings of beads in the Mardi Gras colours of Purple, Green and Gold. I didn’t realise until today how big an event Mardi Gras is; schools are closed for two days, some businesses closed and decorations. All we got in England were pancakes with lemon juice!!
