Fairhope, AL – November 2, 2008

Fairhope is a beautiful town of around 12,000 that began over a hundred years ago when an adventurous group of people sought their personal utopia. It is located on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay and they boast nearly a 0 crime rate. There are many boutiques and art galleries featuring local artists located in their downtown area.

While Darrell worked on the boat, Beth took the courtesy car to downtown Fairhope. Unfortunately, because it was Sunday, nearly every store was closed. She found only 4 open stores; a bookstore, 2 boutiques and the Fairhope Street Artists. Fairhope Street Artists is a gallery showing the works of many local artists. Each artist has their own wall and one of them was outside painting when she walked by. The pictures are of downtown Fairhope and inside one of the art galleries.

Darrell has been working on the autopilot, trying to get it working correctly. Beth cleaned the bumpers. Now that we are through with the locks, we hope to keep the bumpers cleaner.
