Hello Alabama

Finally we are out of Florida. We saw the best and worst along the way. No one would believe the numbers of Pit Bulls the people of Florida own. Wish I would've counted them. We were charged by two of them but they were called off just as Bob was about to use pepper spray. Fortunately they listened.
Crossed over into Alabama this morning and had breakfast at a Waffle House. The. People there were especially friendly and we enjoyed conversation up at the bar with the cooks and waitresses. The morning was cool and dark clouds hung over us most of the day. Sun is finally out.
We rode the ferry over the
Mobile Bay. It was a 45 minute ride but I met some women from Wisconsin and enjoyed conversation with them. My leg is still bothering me. One of the women was a physical therapist and she told me to tape it. Said her husband is a sport medicine doctor. Haven't found a place to get tape yet.
Had oyster sandwich for lunch. Need to stop eating fried stuff!
We are camping tonight free again. The fire department in Bayou
LaBatre have let us set up in the park next to them. We even all got to shower inside. This is the town that Forrest Gump came from in the movie. It's also the town where the Vietnamese
Father through his four small children off the bridge. There is a memorial to them here in the park. See it on my Facebook. So sad.
It's a little cool tonight, going down to 52. Hope we stay warm.
Camper and truck left us this morning so now we fend for ourselves.
