Jane was not feeling 100% with her head and asthma beginning to
bother her - blaming it on the air conditioning in the hotel in Newman. We chose to drive west on the main road to
visit Fort Morgan. Ben wanted to see
what some of the non-commercial beach looked like. Nothing much to see down that way – there was
quite a bit of housing but little in the way of commercial establishments. The weather was a bit iffy too – calling for
rain which never came. We visited Fort Morgan which was a bit of a restored
fort. This Fort was in active use from
the 1800’s until the mid-1900’s. So very
important for actual defense in both the War of 1812 and the Civil War; it served as costal defense during the Spanish American War. Even during WW 1 and 2 it was used both for
training facility and defense. The fort was
finally decommissioned and is now a state park. As we drove back towards Orange Beach we
stopped at the Sunliner again and had the onion rings we had admired the day
before. This time we had salads and onion
rings. Both hit the spot.
We selected our 1st choice for dinner tonight –
Stephi – a new restaurant for us. What piqued
our interest were the Filipino dishes on the menu. Located in a strip mall the restaurant was
unexpected very upscale. They were
indeed the go-to Sushi restaurant in the area.
We had crispy lumpia and it certainly hit the spot – 5 stars for
sure. Could have eaten two orders! Jane had the Seafood Pancit stir fry with snapper,
shrimp, and veggies with rice noodles and Ben had the Caribbean Bowl with
shrimp, coconut rice, pineapple salsa, sliced avocado, smoked corn and black
beans. Both of the main dishes were
excellent and certainly met our expectations.
The sushi we saw being prepared and served looked good if you like sushi
– we don’t.
