Cape San Blas

You're branching into the "Forgotten Coast" here.  You'll see some palm trees and not as many condos.

Time seems to slow down a bit.  You feel like you're a long way from anywhere (which is ultimately the goal).

The Cape San Blas lighthouse is cool.

At the lighthouse are some "old school" beaches.  No bikini shops here.  Spring Breakers steer clear.

 

Slow down and enjoy!

GET OUT. Before you're stuck inside with winter.

Summer's winding down.  Here's why you need to get out.  And depending on where you are, it's not all that far.

FishAle's

This is a new place over on the Beach side of town just across Hathaway Bridge.  They advertise 60 beers on tap, so a group of us decided to give it a try.

Here's how it goes (remember 1/2 of the name is ALES):

1) Order Lazy Magnolia Pecan beer - out comes an IPA.

2) Wrong beer, bring Lazy Magnolia Pecan - out comes something with an orange slice.

3)  Wrong beer, go to bartender, give me Lazy Magnolia.  Get Lazy Magnolia.

4)  Someone orders Apple Ale.  Here's Pear Ale.

5) Bring a Pensacola Bay Porter.  (Time goes by - tick tock, tick tock).  Where's the Pensacola Bay Porter?  Oh, it's been sitting on the bar.  I'll get it for you.

Food was nothing to get excited about.  Beer, yes, they have 60 of them.  But the odds of you actually getting the one you want?  Not real good.

We're talking pizza here.  Yes, to many in town we remember it as Paparazzi's Pizza with the wood fired brick oven.  The wood fired brick oven is there.  My trip last week causes me to refer to it as a glowing briquette ember fired brick oven.  A glowing briquette ember - "A".  I have a problem with that - I want wood fired.   It's an alright pizza.  Good size and quality for the money, BUT there's very little to choose from in town for a wood fired brick oven pizza and when the wood fire is merely a glowing ember, it doesn't instill my confidence.  I can get an oven pizza at Hungry Howie's for $5.  Wood fired sets it apart.  Glowing ember doesn't.
