We changed the itinerary and have skipped South Padre Island, opting instead to stay here in Port Aransas until tomorrow and increase our stays in other locations. Beau's foot injury, plus the knowledge that South Padre Island is pretty much like this area, except for more condos, helped us make the decision. Oh yes -- and the fact that there are nearly constant winds here, anywhere between 20 and 45 mph.
I now know why people committed suicide during the Dust Bowl.
Still, we are having a fine time marooned at Gulf Waters RV. The beach is nice, but we have not been on it, mainly because of the foot, the wind, and the seaweed. (Hey - sounds a bit like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!)
You can get an idea of our experience and some of our surroundings from these photos:

| We all enjoyed the quick ferry ride across Aransas Pass... |
 |
| Lucy liked it, too! |
 |
| Joyce drove the beach at Port Aransas. |
 |
| Had to stick in an oddity, of course. |

Tomorrow, we head for Austin (Beau is excited to get BBQ!!).
Tanks, Panky
