Friday was a day of travel, covering about 320 miles across the Florida Panhandle, past Mobile, and on to Dauphin Island.  After setting up and taking  much-needed hot showers , we contacted Kelly, who gave us a tour of her new place of employment.

This is the building where she has her office, her lab, and space for future graduate students.

We had dinner at their double-wide trailer---Michael's excellent red beans and rice with cornbread.  With the change to Central Time Zone, we were in bed very early, both really tired.

This morning, Saturday, Ranger---who does not understand time zones---was up and ready for his morning walk at 5:45.  It was cool (around 40) and partly cloudy, and the forecast is for upper 60's, which will be welcome.
