Fairhope Ave runs straight through the center of Fairhope, AL and ends at the bay. Today was the perfect day for walking along the waterfront park. At the duck pond, an outsider was keeping watch over the large group of noisy ducks and geese until I spooked him with my not so stealthy approach.
I talked with this guy about his hobby. He seemed to think it was pretty lucrative given all of the treasure he has found, but he admitted it was really just about getting out and getting some exercise.
The water on the bay was relatively calm even though there was a pretty good breeze. The air was warm and the sunshine made it one of those days when it's great to be retired - wait, every day is great when you're retired!
We spent a couple of hours wandering through town looking over the "adorable" homes. Though we walked many blocks in every direction we never saw any "For Sale" signs. Apparently, there are a lot of happy residents in Fairhope. I can see why - this is one of the nicest small towns we have seen in our travels so far. Of course, summers here might be another matter altogether. Maybe we can assess the summertime environment in the not too distant future.
