| Goodbye to beaches. |
 |
| Goodbye to little towns like this: Georgetown, where the tourist boardwalk looks over towards a working steel mill! |
 |
| Goodbye to beach shacks like this -- Big Tuna -- and wonderful seafood. |
 |
| Goodbye to shrimp & sausage Gumbo with Texas Pete hot sauce! |
 |
| Goodbye to crabcakes: this one was especially wonderful! BIG TUNA website here. |
 |
| Goodbye to little birds, shore birds, wading birds, and pelicans. |
If all goes as planned, we'll fly home Thursday. Yesterday the Detroit airport was shut down by an ice storm, and government employees are still loyally working every day without pay. So we hope for good luck traveling!
Have you ever read In The Road to Quoz by William Least Heat-Moon? It is all about a trip through little towns along the sea side, and especially about the search for the best fish dip in all the beach shacks. Sounds like it would have been perfect for your recent journey!
ReplyDeleteWishing you safe travels. I can imagine it wowuld be hard to leave this warm place. I know, not that warm, but just wait till you're home! Hope the landing is OK.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get back fine, I feel very sorry for the TSA folks. Ridiculous for them to work without pay (Ok, I won't get started).
ReplyDeleteI like that gumbo and we also like Texas Pete. We use a few different hot sauces in our place.
