Day 190 Gary Does Apalachicola

The morning started with a little cleanin' and putzin' then Gary arrived by car from Atlanta and Sara and John arrived by Free Bird around lunchtime. We had a little reunion on the boat then went to Up the Creek for lunch. Quaint little waterfront cafe that has a spectacular view and good food. A winning combo!  (Pic 1 & 2) We had steamed in butter oysters this time. Gary had a delicious seafood chowder with a delectable, delicate broth. All sooo good. Then the guys attempted to go to the Maritime Museum and Sara and I wandered the shops. At this point the rain started moving in a little more aggressively. The museum was closed so they ended up talking to a guy building a wooden dingy in the carpenter shop at the museum, then found a great tavern. The weather could not deter Sara and I from shopping. There are so many great local establishments here mingled in with random old Florida stuff like the abandoned boat in pic 3. We ended the afternoon together at Wefring Bar listening to music and watching FSU squeak by Boston College. We parted ways to eat then met back at the Dixie Theater to see Hallelujah Girls. It was definitely local talent, but they did a nice job with some good one liners. Tomorrow we'll do a little car sight-seeing with our good buddy.
