Drift Away: Fairhope Docks Day 2 10/26/17

We have a busy day planned today. Chiropractor at 1:00 and we both have appointments with a dentist at 2:30 to have our teeth cleaned. We left around 11:30 to head to downtown Fairhope to walk around downtown. It's a small town but with a very vibrant central area with lots of shops and restaurants to see and enjoy. We picked a sandwich shop and had the daily special chicken pot pie and a small salad followed with a piece of carrot cake. Not bad!

Enjoying lunch with Debbie in Fairhope

After lunch I left Debbie in the downtown area to walk around and mail some stuff at the post office. The visit with the Chiropractor was very good and they have one of those massage chairs that I was in for about 40 minutes. It was great and a real work out for the back, legs and feet. I picked Debbie up on the bike and we made it to the dentist in time for our appointments at Sweet Water Dentistry.

Dr Phillip Greer took good care of us.

Sweet Water has an additional outside waiting room.

Complete with hammock and a babbling brook.

After the dentist we went back to town to have a cocktail at a bar the Chiropractor had recommended. The place is called Tongue and Groove Drinkery and they make all of there own sodas and special martinis. I had an old fashioned and Debbie had a gin and something lemony. We enjoyed our cocktails but since we were riding the motorcycle figured one would be enough. When we headed back out to the street there were all kinds of people in Halloween costumes and lots of ladies on bikes dressed as witches. Turns out this is an annual fund raising event where witches on bicycles dress up and ride through bthe streets giving out candy to the kids and raising money for FurrPaws. There were over 500 witches and the parade lasted 45 minutes with tons of candy given out. So much so that there was candy all over the streets but we were near the beginning of the route and we had some really loud kids yelling nonstop which seemed to make the witches throw more candy than normal. The kids were scrambling on the street trying to stuff as much of the candy as possible in their bags. What a great idea and fun event.
