OK it's time for the rest of you to laugh. It's getting down to 30 here in Pensacola tonight. It still beats minus something and waste deep snow, but Ruth and I did come down here for the warm weather.

Tonight we gave a highly recommended restaurant "Peg Leg Pete's" located on Pensacola Beach a try. Many people told us they are the best in the area for crab. That's of little importance to me since I can't eat shellfish but Ruth wanted to try it since she has never eaten fresh crab legs. Now that she has tried them, she says it's a lot like lobster. Just less meat. I had a very tasty 8 oz. filet. Without sounding like food critics, we both give this place a 7. The wait was only 20 minutes and the table service was top notch. However, the bar tender could use a bit more practice. We left well fed and would certainly go back should we visit Pensacola again.

Today Ruth had her morning coffee while talking to neighbors and watching up to 6 Pelicans fishing in the shallow river next to our CG. By the time I finished breakfast and joined her, a helicopter had landed nearby and everyone was talking about the controlled burn of some Everglades planned for today. Seems everyday is a new adventure!

Too bad we are leaving tomorrow as we are getting to know several very interesting people. We are learning at lot from them. Newbies like us share their hometown and work experience then lead into how they decided on the RV life. Old timers share their favorite places, recipes, and travel tips. Number one is get the "lifetime senior pass" for national parks. we have ours already.

All this makes working 50 years worth it. None of us know how long it will last, so we make the best of each day.

In the morning we pack up and head for Baton Rouge. It got too cold hear. 65 today and 30 tonight. LOL
