Well, Brownsville is very nice... a lot of Winter Texans are still here (most came down in October) but most will leave in the next few weeks.
We went to South Padre Island yesterday... we went north on the island to the end of the Park road... there was a lot of loose sand blown over areas of the road.
I found an area where there had been a building... after a very bad storm or hurricane the only thing left was z shaped short driveway... with a nice beech overlook... got hung up briefly in some of the sand... but finally backed into position for a view from the slide.
Being Good Thursday we knew that the weekend would start later in the afternoon... since i am no longer "child proof, idiot proof, boom box proof, etc" we decided not to stay and headed bak to Brownsville.
With one stop on the way off the island. The whole south end of the island is a County Park with 1500 or 2000 RV's... for us it meant opportunity.
To dump tanks and take on potable water... it was a couple of days early but "it's better to be tank safe during a Holiday weekend" It cost us $5 for a day pass... and instructions where the primitave dump station was located.
The beaches were all beautiful... but had sea grass blown over sections,
The area between the sand dunes and the County Park is much like any other tourist nightmare... people staying in Condos, hotels, etc and standing in line for 2 hours for cheap pancakes.
Good news for you... Janet filled a memory card with pictures... bad news for me... processing them.
Have a good Easter Holiday
Sleepy and Janet
