Pensacola Road Trip…redux
Today was another Pensacola roadtrip day.
I wanted to pick up an additional color backup camera from Sam’s and Jan wanted to check out a gift shop we’d been to before called Artesana. We’ve been going there for about 30 years or so, and Jan wanted to check it out again.
We talked about having lunch at Sonny’s BBQ again, but didn’t want to get burned out.
Jan asked for a lunch recommendation at Artesana and was told about Dharma Blue. It turned out to be a quaint little cafe on Seville Square in the old-town part of Pensacola. And when I say old-town, I mean old-town, since Pensacola dates from the mid 1500’s.
We ate outside overlooking the square and had a great meal.
Jan had a homemade chicken salad sandwich made with granny smith apples and roasted pecans, along with homemade potato chips and a salad.
I had a grilled hamburger steak with mashed potatoes with the skins in and fresh green beans.
Definitely recommended!
Coming home we stopped at a roadside fruit stand to buy some fresh strawberries that we had for supper, and also picked up a new tow bar hitch extension that I’d ordered last week from a local RV place. Hopefully this will make towing our truck a little smoother.
More tomorrow…
Slow day…
Today was a slow day.
Jan read, watched TV, and sat outside in the sun with Mister.
Mister, in turn, played alligator bait by hanging around the bayou bank.
I worked on several projects, including a new mount for our satellite disk and installing the color backup camera I bought at Sam’s Club a few days ago. I ended up installing this one in our toad as a conventional backup camera.
I’m going to get another one tomorrow to mount on the back of the coach as a rear view camera. We already have one that came with the coach, but it’s B&W and really only keeps an eye on the toad we’re towing behind us. I’d like to see a little farther behind me for lane changing, etc.
Around 5 pm we drove up toward Foley to have dinner at Outback Steakhouse. We’d heard they had a new menu, but what we found out was they’d dropped the Jackaroo Pork Chops, which is pretty much all I ever order there. Oh well.
Sorry. No pics today.
