We got over to Gulf Park State in Gulf Shores Alabama last Sunday in time to get set up and watch the Super Bowl.   What a game.     We like the site we are on and have some nice neighbors.   One of the couples lost everything they had in the Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey.  We have just enjoyed riding our bikes around the park and the trails her at the State Park.   We have managed to ride about 6 miles a day but let me tell you my "princess little butt" as Jim Matheny calls me is sore.   When you are not use to riding it takes a while to get tough.

Larry finally found some mullet fish for himself and he bought some catfish fillets for me and we cooked fish last evening before going to the Mardi Gras parade in Orange Beach, AL,    We have done  two parades now and I have collected lots of beads.   No, I have not done any flashing of the "boobs".  There are suppose to be 2 more parades on Fat Tuesday but the weather isn't suppose to be too good.  

Today we went to The Roadkill Café for lunch.   Now we just had to go see what that was all about.   We had a buffet of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, peas, rice, corn pinto beans.   There was cake and ice cream for dessert but we didn't have any of that.   Now this place is only open from 10:30 am until 12:30 pm and when the food is gone it is gone.   When you go to pay they let you draw a chip out of a bag and if it is red you don't pay but trust me there aren't many red one in there.   If you have been to church today they give you a dollar off. 

Right now we are under a tornado watch so I am a little nervous.   Hopefully most of the weather is going north of us.   We will be here another week and then move over in the Biloxi Mississippi area .

More later,
