May 5th - Mobile Bay, Alabama


George the heron w/ his super glued neck


Mobile Bay Alabama below the town of Fairhope

While Bruce worked on the motor home we took the car to a wonderful town called Fairhope just above Mobile Bay. We toured the shops and yes we did buy a few things here. We then went down to the bay where they have a dock that is a mile long. We watched as 3 men threw their nets from the dock and caught some kind of white fish. I forget the name. There was a blue heron standing on the railing waiting for a fish small enough to eat. Another man standing there told me that "George" the heron was rescued only 2 days before. His neck was nearly severed because he got caught in fishing line. The vet super glued his neck back on and here he was waiting for something to eat. The homes along the bluff were wonderful old homes, most w/big front porches and large oak trees around them. It was a fun place to spend the day. We loved Alabama!
