20020323 Dauphin Island AL

We got up about 8:30 and decided to try Dick Russell’s for breakfast. I had orange juice, coffee and biscuits with sausage gravy. Mary Harriett had biscuits with sausage patties, honey and coffee. It was ok. We got the tank filled and drove over the bay to Dauphin Island AL and Fairhope AL. We saw some of the Azalea Trail Maids out and about. It looked like the 10K Azalea Race was over and everyone was going home. We saw some lovely homes and grounds on the east side of the bay. The day was cool, but no humidity, so it was comfortable. We drove down one road that went to a marina with lots of sailboats where they were giving lessons. Saw some interesting sights, one sign said “Ecor Rouge”.  It was a cliff of red clay that was the highest on the eastern seacoast between here and Maine. We drove down to Point Clear AL and back up to Fairhope. Oh, when we got to Dauphin in morning, we stopped at the library to check e-mail. Win said Carolyn’s mother was in health facility near the new library and they were trying to get her father in there also. We ate shrimp salad for lunch on the pier in Fairhope. We looked around town, in and out of shops, and got some coffee and ice cream.
