Travel to South Padre Island

We must have crossed over the Laguna Madre Causeway to South Padre Island 100 times in the last 14 years but we always look forward to the sights .

If you want some good fish and shrimp there are many places to stop to eat.

We never know what we will see from the top of the bridge, Pelicans flying next to your car , Dolphin watch and sail boats. Shrimping and Skiing boats and if your lucky a big ship making its way to the port of Brownsville

Oh, look to the north on the flats there are kites and sail boards on the shallow bayside.

Now a quick stop at the visitors center to see the new sand sculpture . Of course Dolphins pulling a sleigh and a Christmas tree.

Travel north to meet Cliff and Lavonne at the hotel where they are staying on the beach. The view from the third floor and the windy day make the Waves seem hypnotic. We wonder if ,like snow flakes, there are no 2 alike??

We go to La Palms restaurant and sit on the deck close to the beach watching and listening while eating lunch.
Back to the Hotel for happy hour down by the pool with beer , wine and snacks. Chatting with new people as we crowd around and share the tables.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??

This gave us a chuckle in the corner of their room ,just inside the front door with no curtain or divider, is the tub with flat screen TV. You are in full view of the rest of the room and the hall [with Soda and Ice machines ] if someone were to open the door . Did room service design this set up?

7 Pm we go to the local theater to see Marley and Me. It was a funny movie up until the end. Everyone who has ever had a pet walks out with tears. I expected to walk out feeling better , after all it is billed as a comedy..
