Day 2

South Padre Island KOA South Padre Island, Texas

We began our day with a bike ride.  We started at Isla Blanca County Park.

This statue pays tribute to the fisherman who went through this pass and never returned.

The beach.

We went to the visitor center to find out what is happening in town this weekend. 

Tim was ready to head back to the RV but I felt good and wanted to keep riding.  I found a small shop and stopped in to check if they had new flip flops for Tim.  I got back on my bike and turned around to go to the campground.  When I was almost to our site, I realized that I had dropped my wallet.  The short story is that someone turned it into the police…so I am very grateful to have it back!!!  Thank you Officer Garcia!

I ended up riding for a lot longer than I had planned.  I felt like a baked potato when I returned.  We turned on the air conditioner and it didn’t work!  We got an appointment for a mobile repair guy tomorrow morning.  Then, we found a long line of ants streaming across the bathroom floor.  We drove to ACE Hardware to get ant bait, spray, and powder.

The causeway over the sound.

We found Los Tortugo’s Seafood market.  We got Super Jumbo shrimp. 

We packed the grill and the cooler in the car and went to the beach. Yes it is and NO, WE didn’t!

We drove 24 miles on the beach all the way to the channel between South Padre and North Padre. 

We drove to the sound side.

We chose our dinner spot.

Salad and Super Jumbo shrimp.

Some shore birds.

This heron came to sit on the hill behind us and he stayed for the sunset!

November Days of Thanksgiving Day #7:  We are grateful for the honest person who turned in my wallet…we are also grateful that we are able to see the good things in every day!
