Sunday we took a nice ride along the water's edge. We stopped at the base beach that asked us to just leave footprints, nothing else.
We rode past many buildings that brought back memories from the time that Mike was studying here. This chimney is all that is left of the ships carpenters' shop, from the ship building days before it became an air base. I had forgotten it, but it is still impressive.
Today we drove to the historic downtown area of Pensacola. We thought we would visit some of the museums, but most were not open on Mondays. Much of the architecture of old Pensacola reminds us of New Orleans. The difference is that the streets here are much wider than those in New Orleans.
We ate at The Fish House on the waterfront and had a nice view, a great meal, and some local Pensacola beer.
After lunch we did some more walking and found some neat Pelicans. We have seen lots of Pelicans on this trip, but none like these.
We also drove over the bridge to Pensacola Beach. We used to go there with our friends those many years ago. Of course, then it was summer and there were lots of people on the beach. It was a bit different today.
