Beaches

Yesterday, we found this kosher deli in Panama City. Brock said that the Israeli food was not fabulous, but he sorta craves it now. So, when we found this deli, he got his pannini and falafel fix, and I got to experience some of the food that he enjoyed over there. Last night, we ate at one of our favorite seafood places called Old Bay Steamer in Ft. Walton.

Today, on our way to Oklahoma, we are going to stop by our favorite beach in the whole world...Pensacola Beach, FL. You have to take advantage of the road or else you will start to resent it. Therefore, we stop off at cool tourist attractions, restuarants, and see the sites. Being the beach bums we are, we freguent beaches all across America. This one is our favorite! However, it may not be the same because the hurricane came right through there.

We used to stay at Ft. Pickens National Seashore on Pensacola Beach, but it's not there anymore. That's a shame because it was so beautiful. This area was at the end of the island. The drive alone was incredible. Only pure white sand dunes and emerald ocean are on either side of the road. It's crazy how one storm can whipe out our favorite vacation spot!

The devastation was worse than I thought. There were piles of debris on the side of the road...concrete, mattresses, hot water heaters. Many hotels, restuarants, and houses (in fact whole neighborhoods) were gone! Hurricane Ivan came through Pensacola Beach last September and it looked like it happened yesterday. They just got power again on the island in February. Only a couple of restuarants and hotels were even open. It's amazing the power of nature. I can't even imagine the aftermath of the tsunami!
