Day 15 - Wednesday, January 19 - Pensacola

 Weather was beautiful today. At 10AM we had several windows and the roof vents open before leaving for Pensacola. I wore shorts and a tee shirt, but threw a hoodie in the truck. I put on the hoodie when we were walking out by the Gulf.

Our first stop was Joe Patti's Seafood. Kathy is getting us beignets, actually this is on the way out. This is at least our 3rd trip to Joe Patti's for beignets. We didn't buy any fish but she did buy a small container of some type of crab dip.

Outside Joe Patti. I don't think this boat/ship ever leaves the pier. It would have to move sideways to get into the channel.
Lots of pelicans around.
Beautiful day.

Then on to downtown for lunch at O'Riley's Irish Pub. Its the building with the green awning.


Kathy had a hamburger and I had Bangers and Mash (sausage and "dirty" mashed potatoes). Both were good. The sausages were a little mild.
Photos of a couple of downtown streets.

Then we went out to the Gulf and walked around some. Not sure what they were doing to the back of this ship but it looked like a lot of work.

This little girl and her gram(?) were feeding the seagulls.
Every now and then they would take flight and then land back around the little girl. She must be around them on a regular basis because she didn't seem scared. When the whole flock of them flew over my head I was a little scared.
It was still nice but the cloud cover really picked up and looked a little ominous.
I think one of these must be Big Toot and maybe the other is Little Toot.



On the way home we stopped at a different T-Mobile store in Foley. I explained my situation to the young man and he said, "I think I can fix that." (a line from one of my favorite movies, Doc Hollywood). It took him about an hour but he got T-Mobile working on the ESIM. Back at the campground I checked the data speed on my phone. It is a little over twice as fast as it is with AT&T.

We are really liking a 2009 Dutch Aire for sale in Haslet, TX. If I can get some good answers to the questions I've asked we may rent a car, drive over there and take a look. Its about a 670 mile drive.

God is good. I pray He blesses you and yours.
