Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 3:00 a.m. in "This City."

Yesterday was nothing short of beautiful here. The high temperature reached 63° under sunny skies, a perfect day for our trip to Pensacola. It was cold here according to native Floridians, but being from Michigan, we thought that like Goldilocks porridge, it was "Just Right."

We took the morning walk with STWD, but we forgot that the pills that we had to give her earlier, always slow her down a bit sooner than normal. We'll keep that in mind for today. The pills seem to be having a positive effect, so that's all good. Today, the temperature should reach the upper 50s by about 11:00 a.m. under partly cloudy skies. Tomorrow and Friday, 63° will be the high, but the skies won't be partly cloudy, they'll be rainy. Oh well, a good chance to spend some time with my harmonica lessons and read those books I've been trying to read for about two years or more.

Mary plans to make another pair of vegan "Hams," later today. We couldn't waste yesterday's fine weather, but she did get in her chat before we left for the "Big City." I worked some crosswords at the same time and in the spirit of multi-tasking, Mary made lunch. She is a lot better at doing many things at once than I am.

At any rate, we traveled to Pensacola to a very nice yarn store and then to the museum campus. Mary got the new project that she has been craving at that yarn store. The museum campus stop also included a stop at The Pensacola Bay Brewery for a sample of one of their locally brewed craft beers. Great taste and a comfortable tap room.

Then we were back on tour. We saw many exhibits, buildings, and houses. We mostly self-guided our tour, with the exception of a guided tour of one of the large houses. The Museum of Industry, the Museum of Commerce, and several houses were part of our activities. I took numerous pictures, and they are about to appear. Sadly, the download speed here is very slow. so I am only able to add a few before I get too much older.

This is the place.

This kitchen may be too old, even for Mary.

Me, "Trainspotting."

More "Trainspotting."

At least we got into the early 20th century.

A craft room.

In keeping with our interests, this is the vegetable/herb garden on the tour.

Kitchen, circa 1920s.

OK, so I like petroleana.

There are many more pictures, but I was growing roots waiting. The entire museum campus is part of the Historic Trust and is administered my the University of West Florida. Definitely worth the time we spent.

The sun will rise in those partly cloudy skies at 6:46 a.m. and set into the Gulf of Mexico at 5:09 p.m. Ciao.
