41 Miles to Dauphin Island, AL ......

We had an early start today to avoid the church traffic (Happy Easter all), so we arrived here before 11:00. We crossed numerous bridges and saw lots of shrimp boats (pic). I took a pic of the 3.5 mile bridge we crossed to get to Dauphin Island (see map). We're surrounded by water here.
It was in the high 50s when we left this morning and in the low 70s now, and it's sunny and blue.
We're staying at the Dauphin Island Beach Club, in condos. There are 5 of us sharing this condo, but it's big enough so that I have my own bedroom and only share the bathroom with one other woman. We even have a washer/dryer in the unit that doesn't take quarters to operate! 
There is not a lot going on here for restaurants and shops, i.e., it's not built up at all. Tomorrow is a rest day and I'm not sure what I'll do other than relax.
All the pics after the map were taken from our balcony.

  1. Nice to face out to the beach. And I wonder if you guys think it's better not to be distracted or tempted by more shopping opportunities than you've had on this trip. So you can just rest, prepare for next day, etc.? And I'm wondering if there's time to read in your down-time?
    You look so fit here - and rested.
