Four states in three hours-this ain't Montana!

My old college roomie who grew up in New Orleans and was in New Orleans at the time, invited me to spend a couple of nights at her condo in Destin, Florida. She picked me up and off Thelma and Louise  went. The next hours were spent driving along the Gulf Coast through Biloxi, Mobile, and into Florida while we caught up with each other on the last 40 years. It was great.

What surprised me so much was the beautiful white sand. I've been to the Atlantic, Pacific, Mediterranean, UK (rocks) Ireland, Iberian, and Namibian coasts, but never have I seen such beautiful, white beaches. Destin has changed from a quiet fishing spot to a crowded (by Montana standards-but then everywhere is crowded, by Montana standards) resort area. There are many high-rise condos and hotels along the beach. Her place was so beautiful-on the ninth floor with amazing ocean views (complete with sunsets) all around. As we walked along the deserted beach, once again it was  WWPFAD (wonder what the po folks are doing).

Thanks, Roomie, for a wonderful 2 days.
