As we left Florida we crossed over the bay and then we stopped at Robertsdale, Alabama.  The next day we headed toward the towns of Fairhope and Daphne.  We had been told about a pier that was open to the public.  We found this pier but it didn’t look like we could gain access.  So we stopped and ate at the Sunset Grille which was on the end of that pier.  Tony has seafood and I had the best burger I have had in a very long time.  Later we found out that this place was featured on the Food Network.

As we drove around town looking for the public pier we saw a great deal of beautiful buildings and scenery.  The city of Fairhope had a beautiful sign made of plants and flowers as you entered and there were lots of large oak trees.  We found an old church and some old plantation style homes.  Didn’t have time to get pictures of all of them as we drove past but I did get a few pictures to share.

As we drove further down the bay we finally found the public pier.  There was a beautiful park by the pier with great picnic areas on both sides.  The pier itself had a restaurant in the middle and boats docked beside it.  We even found a boat with a pirate flag on it.  We walked most of the way out on the pier and I took some pictures of the shore.  It was a really gorgeous day and the scenery was fantastic.

There were some ducks beside the pier and we enjoyed watching them for a while.  On the way back to the bike I stopped to listen to a street musician playing and signing his guitar.  He asked for a request and I asked him to play amazing grace.  He didn’t seem to know it well so I started to sing along.  Still didn’t get the chords so we talked a little before I left.   I also told him to follow my blog.  So I am hoping that he is reading this today.

Well, I thank God that we had such a wonderful day.  Tomorrow we plan on driving further down the bay to the gulf coast.   Bye for now.
