South Padre Island

we thought we would give the Island another try.  the weather at home was suppose to be 93 deg, the temp at SPI was suppose to be 80.  it was about 78 at the beach, overcast and windy.  we spent a few house sitting and walking along the beach.

here I am sunning!!

well maybe my feet will get a bit of color!

Warning!  Warning! Presence of Venomous Marine Life!

not a pretty day.

A group of winter Texans playing on the beach...

some of them actually went into the water!  Here I am all covered up!  we think they were from Canada, as there was a lot of vehicles in the parking lot from Canada.

we had to have seafood for lunch/dinner.  the other volunteers told us about this place right on the water..

Eric got the shrimp and fish platter, I got the shrimp platter. It was OK.  not as good as the last time we were on the Island.  the shrimp was huge, but it lacked flavor.  would not go back here.   service was good, location was good but the food... just OK.

Spring break should be starting this weekend.  a lot of people were leaving the island.  we hope to get at least one more day there.
