Fairhope, Alabama… a Hidden Treasure

Today we went into Fairhope, AL, a small boutique town on Mobile Bay.

There was a beautiful city park, Fairhope Municipal Pier.  

We enjoyed walking down the pier.   

We watched a fisherman net fish for a long time.  Neither of us had seen this type of fishing before.  I still prefer fishing at the fish counter in the market, but it is always entertaining watching people who like to fish.

This area has become a bird sanctuary, which was evident by the different birds we saw.

The town has a sweet downtown with eclectic shops and restaurants.  We went into several stores—but shopping just isn't as much fun as it has been in the past.  We realize that if something comes into our little traveling home—something has to be taken out.  You cannot imagine the restraint this knowledge brings to me.

On our way out of town we drove by a beautiful Greek Orthodox Church.  Other people like Disney World… we like seeing houses and churches across America.
