JAN 27 - 29

 The weather is much better now. We are enjoying daytime temps in the mid to upper 60s and lows at night in the lower 50s....good sleeping weather. Since arriving at Gulf Shores State Park, we have fallen into a routine of sorts. One of us, usually Jim, takes Gus for his first walk of the day around 7 am CST, then take our time before getting anything done.  I have been making an effort to take Gus on one long walk a day about mid-day but otherwise he is content to be laying outside tethered to his outdoor leash.



 I am doing my best to maintain at least 7000 steps each day, and I have added in bike rides of at least 4 miles at a time. Today I plan to walk the beach for the 1st time since we got here. Last night I finished another book, BREAKNECK, by Erica Spindler...a good murder mystery. WiFi works fine for email and downloading books, but is a bit weak for streaming TV....better to read anyway!

Found a few mini libraries maintained by campers around the park. I donated a book but did not take one. I still have a few to read that I brought with me. Gus went with me to locate the libraries so he got a good walk of almost 2 miles. Afterwards, I took rode the bike down to the beach, walked another mile on the beach, and rode back "home" for a total of 3 miles on the bike. I an exhausted....time for a rest!
