Snow Everywhere Outside

Our first day in Destin had us running around with several errands. It always takes longer because you don't know where everything is located. So, you have to ask someone or drive around and hunt for what ever it is you need. After completeing the necessary tasks we drove around to explore the area. We ended up driving west until we hit Okaloosa, another beach town along the coast. These restaurants and shops caught our attention so we stopped to investigate. The "Swamp" is a huge restaurant that turns into a concert hall at night. With a huge stage and speakers everywhere and a nice size bar to accomadate all their thirsty patrons.
The block of restaurants overlooks the white sandy beach's. I can only imagine how crazy this place gets when there is a band playing.

While we were driving around Reta made a comment that really describes the sand in this area well. The white sand everywhere almost looks like snow because it is so white. When you see the dunes of sand it just looks like a huge pile of snow. I have to admit that of all the beach's we have had the opportunity to visit I have never seen sand this white.
This picture shows the city of Destin when we were returning from Okaloosa.

One thing that we have noticed about the people in this area is that their accent is much more southern with slow, drawn out words. People aren't in a hurry to get things done but would rather sit and tell you some experience that they had regarding their dog or pickup truck. Wait, that's usally country music. Now I know where all their insperation for country music must come from. Just sit back and listen to everyone. To top off the drive back we saw this truck on the road. This wasn't the first one we saw but the first one that I manged to get a picture of. I was going to take a picture of the front as well but I stopped when I saw the confederate flag on the front bumper. Is there such a thing as redneck cajun?

We found out some great news yesterday while talking to the camp host. We can wash our vechicles here in the campground! Today we are taking the day to wash Road Hazard and the Pickup. Who cares that they are calling for rain this weekend. They both need it bad.
