The Geezers had a pretty lazy day in Southern Mississippi today. After breakfast, we took a walk around the Gulf Islands National Seashore, did some birding and critter watching. We then headed out to a coffee shop to check our e-mails and post to the GGS blog - gotta keep our followers up-to-date, you know. Back to the campground and Geezer Mike, who has been feeling a little under the weather, crawled into the camper to take a "Whelan" (NEW GEEZER TERM - named after friend, Bill Whalen's ability to take a nap anytime, any place!)
Refreshed, we then headed out to do some more birding and touring the area hit by Katrina - Mike has a special place in his heart for the Hurricane recovery. While driving, we listened to Ken Flanagan's radio show who gave a public welcome to the Geezers over the air. That qualified him to a beer at the Shed - a wonderful Barbeque joint where we had dinner.
Tomorrow - we are going to Pass Christian to scout our some rare birds and then head to New Orleans for a quick overnight and even some rarer birds! More to come.Best wishes to all the Geezer Watchers out there - be good now!
I was in Pass Christian doing some hurricane cleanup after Katrina. Some of the beautiful mansions along 90 were smashed to bits (as well as the Harrah's casino by the pier) I wonder if any of that has been rebuilt by now? Anyway, go to Sonic for me!
