Nan and I packed our luggage and biking gear in the morning and set out in a light rain from Atlanta. We drove southwest down I-85 towards Montgomery, the capital of Alabama. We stopped for a delightful lunch at the Amsterdam Cafe in Auburn. Nan used Trip Advisor to find this small spot near the Auburn Univ campus. We resumed our uneventful drive through Montgomery and then south towards Mobile. And that is when the skies opened up and we were deluged with rain. It was so heavy we pulled off the highway briefly and used our emergency blinking lights for much of the remainder of the journey. We left the Interstate before reaching Mobile as we were headed to the quaint village of Fairhope on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. We settled into our hotel and then set off for dinner of oysters at Wintzell's.. Yummy. They were from Louisiana, but I did not ask if we should be concerned about any after effects of the BP spill.
Here are a couple of pictures from our hotel balcony of the old City Hall and a fire engine inside it:
