Sweet Home Alabama


 Since our journey was coastal this year, our time in Alabama was short. We stayed 20 miles east of Mobile, in Robertsdale, but discovered the cutest small town along the Mobile bay called Fairhope. It has flowers on every street corner, artist and craft shops sprinkled among restaurants like Panini Pete's and a small pier and bird sanctary.
I walked out on the pier to talk to a couple fishing. It turns out that he is a truck driver whose favorite place to go is Towanda, Pa. He drives past our Pa house frequently. They were fishing for white trout, so I invited them to stop in Pa next summer to fish in our back yard for rainbow and brown trout. I'll be looking for the "Alabama Fat Kids", their CB Handle, to pay us a visit
