Gulf State Park, Alabama

We are at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, AL.  Got here Tues. afternoon.  It has been very hot and humid the last several days.  This morning a storm blew in dumping quite a lot of rain.  Yesterday we spent most of the day at the new swimming pool which just opened labor day.  We also checked out the new pier.  In the afternoon Barb mentioned that the couple camped across from us looked familiar.  About 5:30 the husband came over to invite us to go to eat with them.  It was then that we found out it was the couple that camped beside us at Big Bend.  They are from  Florida.  We all went out for a seafood dinner  and had a good time discussing every place we had been.  It is another coincidence that we run into someone we had seen a thousand miles ago.   Also we didn't see any oil on beach,  but that may change today as we are going to take a long beach walk.
