Duck Touring Hot Springs
Wednesday continued the run of beautiful, sunny days. Hot, though, but I generally am fairly comfortable in hot weather. Gerry and I decided to take the Duck Tour, which would give us a chance to see parts of the town and sites around nearby Lake Hamilton. Once we got started, I found the “captain” of the boat entertaining and informative. He talked about the houses of the famous and infamous that lined the lake shore and their histories. I’m going to let the pictures below speak for themselves. As usual, the rest of the photos are available on my Flickr page. Since Gerry wanted to leave town very early Thursday morning, we had dinner at the condo and watched the DVD on the music studio in Muscle Shoals. I’m not normally a big fan of biographic documentaries, but this one was surprisingly entertaining. It was interesting to hear back stories…

Like every other day in Miami Beach, the 4th of July started as a warm and sunny morning. I began gathering my things so that I could vacate the room I’d been using the four days while in town. Wimbledon men’s tennis was playing in the background, of course. Since I didn’t plan to go to Day 4 of Supercon and had purchased a ticket for the 5 p.m. Duck tour, I didn’t leave until 12:30. Unfortunately, RB’s battery troubles had reached a head. She didn’t even have enough power for me to unlock the doors or trunk. AAA to the rescue! The technician did a check and determined that the battery should be replaced. Thank goodness it wasn’t the alternator. He showed me the old battery after removing it, and even I could tell the way the plastic body bowed outwards was not normal. Oh, well, one does what…
