We enjoyed our time at Bella Terra but did get out and explore other places to hang our hat, should we come this way again. Gulf State Park, near Orange Beach, was huge with many amenities. But the beach was across a busy highway so a car would be helpful. The gulf beaches are powdery white sand and there are the high rise condos along the beach. All in all, didn't do much for us. We spent part of the day, based on a recommendation, over in Fairhope Alabama. It is on the gulf as well with gorgeous homes, luxurious landscapes and a lovely town of nice shops and restaurants and magnificent magnolia trees, now in bloom.
We decided to leave this morning, closely monitoring the weather. We knew we'd have rain along the way but we were rather pleased to only have about an hour of heavy rain as we gradually headed
Northwest.
Scenery was a non event .....roads were very good, not too much traffic and we finished up our day's 400+ miles in Shreveport. We are about halfway and it looks like clear weather for the next several days.
Oh how I miss those grand magnolia blossoms!
