Jan 15-17, 2012 Gulf Shores, Alabama

We are both feeling better. John a lot better. He has been going on long bike rides most days. There are lots of cool trails here in the state park. I have been using solar therapy trying to get well on the lawn chair. It was supposed to be a rainy day so we drove back to Mobil to see the USS Alabama , a WWII battle ship and the USS Drum, a WWII submarine.

The USS Drum-named after the fish,  John in the control room of the Drum. The drum carried a crew of 72 people. Packed in considerably closer than on the  Alabama.

The galley on the Drum, it is bigger than the one on the bus!, a view of some of the aircraft they had on display too.

Washing the back of the bus. I watched from the comfort of my lawn chair. I am beginning to get my tan back.  The basket so far with the shells  pieces I found on the beach on Perdito Key. The cardboard pattern is in it so you can see approximately how it will be shaped.
