In many ways it reminded me of some of the lovely places we visited in Florida a couple of years ago. There was even some Spanish Moss in the trees. We kept our walk short to favor my foot, but we recommend it as a nice day trip from the island area.
On another day we drove all the way up the beach to the shipping channel. About 30 miles. And once again enjoyed the sea air and beautiful surf.
Going north we spotted this guy sitting high on a dune, and when we drove back we saw him (or another?) gliding over the waves. There were also a lot of pelicans and other sea birds about.
Saturday we took a two hour dolphin watch boat ride. (No pictures worth sharing!) And on Sunday we went out for a wonderful brunch at the Beach Side Cafe.
Life is good!
I think of the many cold Februraries we spent in Wisconsin and am so glad we are not there now. Nor, for that mater, do I wish we were back in our California house. If we were, we would probably be discussing the next fix-up project instead of making plans for a visit to the National Seashore in Corpus Christi.
I am writing this post as we cruise along in the Alfa. I wonder what our spot in Mission TX will look like, and what new experiences we will have. Good I hope.
wonderful! I wonder if that heron is the one that will live in my backyard for the summer?
ReplyDeleteHope you're planning to stay at Bentsen Palm Village. It's the nicest RV park in the Mission area, and you will love all the birds at the state park.
ReplyDeleteWhen did you guys put your names on the Jojoba list, and how many times have you been called since? We're still debating...
We put our names on Jojoba's list in November, and have been called (and passed) twice since.
ReplyDeleteYou are having too much fun there. What we love about the lifestyle is never knowing what the next place will be like.
ReplyDeleteNo dolphins? On the cruise. Did you go with the Dolphin Whisperer? Will you be camping at the National Seashore?
ReplyDeleteThere were a few dolphins, but they seemed to want to get away from the boat. We have been on some where the dolphins jump and play with the boats. It was a pretty overcast day, maybe they didn't like the weather.
DeleteHow is your foot doing? If you need a new boot, they sell them on Amazon (of course) and for much less than our insurance company was billed for Jim's. I hope this will hurry up and heal, when the feet go south it's not good.
ReplyDeleteMerikay saw another podiatrist a while back, and he said that her good hiking boots are just as good as the big plastic boot by then. We are going north tomorrow so her feet will come along :-)
DeleteI'll bet the sleeping is great there.
