Back to the beach on a sunny 70ish day and one of my new friends was there. I think this is the same guy who I photographed previously although they all look alike. They seem to spend all their time dodging waves and poking in the sand for whatever. Unique among the shore birds this critter will stop for your photo and when you look for him again he will be about a foot from your feet looking at you.
Denise having finished collect seashells, we passed through Gulf Shores at lunch time (perfect planning) and stopped at our new favorite Fish River Grill #3. (http://fishrivergrill.com) For complete disclosure, #2 is in Foley and #1 is in Fairhope. We have been to the one in Foley and it supports the claim that the menu is the same at all locations.
I am selective about endorsements/recommendations unless paid gobs of money. In this case however, if you are in Baldwin County Alabama, you could do worse. A ten buck lunch gets you a non-heart smart sandwich (burger or whatever) with fries. In addition, you get a small (4 oz,) cup of "swamp soup" (chicken base with collards, beans and ham) and a piece of cake for dessert. In the past it has been a lemon cake but yesterday it was pecan. It brags it is the place locals eat. This may be a rare case of truth in advertising. A tad more expensive than the sandwiches is a good seafood menu. We had the shrimp once (on special) and we were not disappointed.
