The Fat Lady is Warming Up...

Left New Orleans this morning without incident.  Another beautiful day.  As we made it to the Miss. coast, almost all of sand has been cleared off of the streets.  We gassed up and made a short detour to the downtown area of Ocean Springs, MS.  It looks like a nice, quaint downtown area with lots of shops and restaurants.  We continued on to Mobile and decided to eat lunch again at Felix's Fish Camp, the great place we discovered 4 days ago.  It was just as good this time!  The place seems to be a wildlife refuge, also.  Their resident alligator was there (we couldn't see her before due to high water from the storm) and a red-winged blackbird (I think) perched on the window for quite a while.  You can see the WWII battleship USS Alabama from the restaurant, with it's impressive 16" guns.  After lunch, we continued on, back to Troy, AL where we'll spend the night before heading home tomorrow.
