Hooray! It warmed up enough by late morning to melt most of the ice on the docks so we could safely pick up the keys and drive the courtesy car to Wal Mart. I am not a died-in-the-wool Wal Mart shopper, but it was a welcome change to browse the Super Mart. Sadly, the little town of Demopolis is all but out of business with the move-in of the Wal Mart. There are still the usual fast food places: McDonald's, Hardies, Dominoes Pizza, etc., but the shops and supermarket are closed.
We had a delicious beef stew for dinner and then hiked up to the restaurant to watch the Auburn/Oregon game. I was rooting for the Ducks, since Lora and Jason live in Oregon, but John was sitting right there beside me rooting for Auburn! Sorry Jason.
Tues. temperatures are still below normal and it's supposed to go down to 19 overnight. We refueled, ready for the last 2 locks and the long haul south.
I went on another cleaning rampage this morning. Really feel we're making progress organizing but John is questioning where all the trash is coming from. I've found stuff I can't even recognize in some of the nooks in this boat. It will be so nice to put our feet up and sip a glass of wine while we watch the sunset set over the Gulf from the back deck of our nice clean boat!
