Our little road trip to Texas was great!!! On the way back to Destin, we rode past and through some of Louisiana's Bayous and have more of a sense of the way of life in that part of the country. Especially stopping in Baton Rouge for the night and meeting some of the locals. Understanding the Cajun dialect was a struggle at times but we managed. On the road we past such places as Maringouin, and Grosse Tete, which I pronounce in French yet the Cajuns break it down differently. We love the diversity of each area we have visited so far!
On the last leg of the way home to Destin we travelled along Alabama's scenic route #98 which we caught just past Mobile, AL. This was very welcoming and Jim and I enjoyed the stretch of highway along the coast in the sunshine. We could see a huge difference between the poor and wealthy neighbourhoods so close together. Entering Florida again was kind of like coming home in that the surroundings are more familiar and this is where we found a lunch spot called the East River Smokehouse in Navarre, FL. YUMMY brisket, ribs and homemade beans! Our server loved chatting with us and asked about Ontario....her 12 year old daughter loves Justin Bieber.

Enjoying beverages!
This is on the deck of the restaurant ....looking over to the other side of East Coast Bay.
Quite an eclectic eatery....this Big Bear was in the front entrance...so fun!!!
