Here we are in state number seven: Alabama (snacking on boiled peanuts - a fast food staple down here, given to us by a kind roadside vendor).We cycled down to Dauphin Island ("The birdiest city in Coastal America"), and camped the night at the Dauphin Island Campground. We took advantage of the opportunity to swim in the (very warm!) Gulf of Mexico - to a backdrop of off-shore oil rigs. We failed to see any Pelicans, the state bird of Louisiana, in Louisiana... but saw plenty along the Alabama Coast! We took another Ferry, this time across Mobile Bay... past off-shore natural gas platforms, seagulls, and pelicans, to Fort Morgan. Only a short ride from here to Florida!
