Nassau rum run


















 We wandered via taxi today. Many took us to our favorite distillery, Watkins.  They have a new rum that has been aged 4 years. We made sure we sampled before purchasing.  Sprinkled a little bit but then nice and sunny. 

I bought 50 cent stamps and mailed my post cards then back to the ship. Dinner on Central Park, 150. A very nice Mediterranean meal. 

Ending the night with Air, Wind, and Fire performance from the Allure orchestra.

 All settled in Tiffin territory. A little chilly here today. Staying at 1st Class Glass waiting till Monday to have Tiffin people come and evaluate our to-do list. Went to lunch at Cole’s BBQ across the border in Mississippi. Small hole in the wall place on a tight corner. Great pulled por, fried green tomatoes and pickles.  Picked up some supplies from the Ace hardware store inside a Piggily Wiggly. We are in northern Alabama for sure   Visited the Allegro Club back in Red Bay and learned about some interesting spots to visit this weekend.

Everglades Nov. 6-9

Temperatures from low 60s to highs of 75.  Our first day we drove to the Marina and the maintanence worker took us to see an American crockodile just sun batheing not 10 feet away. We then drove up to the Earnest Coe Visitor’s Center  a lot of good information about the plant and wildlife around.  Next we stopped at the Anhinga Trail which was a short raised boardwalk through the marsh.  We saw fish, birds and an alligator that was hiding in the brush.   The next day we too a pontoon boat ride through the glades and bayou. We traveled the man made canal, the Florida Bay, and Coot Bay.  Our Guide, Captain Nick, added historical information as well as wildlife facts. The sights have been amazing with gators, crocodiles, hawks and even buzzards (trying to eat the caulking off o...

Shiloh National Military Park

 Couldn’t be more happy to have my Yankee RV winter jacket! Visitors center displays Union, Confederate and women equally in accounts of the first major battle of the Civil War. Well done.  Dennis kept trying to compare his silhouette to Grant as he is a distant relative on his grandmother’s side. Maybe the nose. Our auto tour of the battlefield was like a scavenger hunt through history. 160 years ago a war took place.  This battlefield covers three days of the worse and bloodiest battle of the Civil War that lasted 4 years. Interesting fact, General Albert Sidney Johnston, Confederate commander, led 4,400 men against U.S. Grant.  He was the highest ranking officer killed in combat during the Civil War and remains the highest American officer ever killed in action. The terrain and amount of equipment they had to move through woods and swamps really seems an impossible task.  Touring the sights, hearing the cannon go off and seeing the plaques of times and dates ...
