We drove to Fort Gaines on Dauphin (dah-fin) island at the mouth of Mobile Bay. This scene is where US Navy Admiral David Farragut was quoted as saying "damn the torpedoes (mines), full speed ahead." He is one of our Navy heroes and I was honored to visit the place.

The photo in the middle is of our new home in Mobile, AL. Pretty cool looking place huh? -R

In the bottom photo I'm standing next to a 100 year old peanut roaster at the A&M Peanut Shop in Mobile. They still roast peanuts in it and we bought some warm peanuts, in the shell, fresh out of the roaster (the best we've tasted) -A
