Hi everybody, I just wanted to show you a couple of very stately homes that Ron and i came across on our bike ride to the Mandeville harbour.
It was about a 6 mile bike ride on that bike trailand brought us into town from Fontainbleau S P . Just about all these homes were up on stilts and some had brick or stone work like about.They are on Lakeshore Dr. facing Pontchartrain Lake.We left this park and arrived in Gulf State Park Alabama on the Gulf of Mexico by early afternoon. With no reservations we were put on a waiting list with 12 other couples to see if we could get a site.
Luckily we all made it in and have a great site on a canal within the park. All the sites are on sewer hookup which is unheard of in most parks. There are 496 sites here with some guests staying a month at a time. We can see why.While driving through Mobile Ala we went across another winding causeway for miles through Mobile Bay and a tunnel for a bit of the way.
This is the longest concrete pier out into the ocean with white sandy beaches and tourquoise-blue water .Just gorgeous!
Some of the shells we found on our first try.A lot of them are broken up by the heavy tidal surf.Couldn't find one entire sand dollar .
Beach looking east toward Orange City and Fla.(not so far away as the crow flies).
There are lots of beach acsess points to enjoy the view.
View on canal out our door as the sun was setting last night.Great great weather so far and lots of sun.
