A little cool and windy yesterday but sunny at least. We did our grocery run and got the battery replaced in my watch--needed for the last three days. After lunch we headed to the visitor's center here at Gulf Islands National Seashore. We watched an excellent film on the history and importance of the Barrier Islands, looked at the exhibits, and picked up a few souvenirs.

The sandhill crane visitor center closed at 3:00 so we decided to save that and headed for downtown Ocean Springs. One of the gems in their crown is the Walter Anderson Art Museum. Anderson
was a local artist who brought much attention to the barrier islands with his work. The museum is attached to the community center, which he decorated with murals a fee of one dollar. Fascinating place.

On the way back to the car, we stopped at the Broadway Bar and Grill for a beverage--a place decorated with posters and photos from Broadway musicals but sadly lacking, in my opinion in appropriate videos on the TV, opting for silly sports instead. The bartender explained the emptiness of the place as due to post Mardi Gras fever.

We finished the day with steak grilled over our campfire, baked potatoes and fresh asparagus with roasted red pepper and garlic seasoning. Yum. The local news included dire warnings about temperatures dipping below freezing--possibly even the 20s--during the night, with the sort of cautions we get in Iowa when the forecast is for lows around -25 with wind chills around -40. They don't however give out time limits before frostbite like the northern forecasts.
