This is the coldest place we have been in our travels. At least so far. I am sure it will warm up soon, but the damp cold is hard to take. We have been cooped up here since Sunday. We did got o see the Navigation museum yesterday, and drove along the Fulton Beach Road. Not much open these days. When it warms up we will go take the ferry across from Aransas to Port Aransas, and see San Padre Island, which is a huge barrier island stretching all the way south to Brownsville. Amazing how the geography is meaningless until you can pull out a map and drive it. I had no idea what this looked like from the studying I did in preparation to coming here. I went to a class more than a year ago at an Escapade and learned some of what to see and do here, and have found the “Boiling Pot”—a Cajun seafood hole in the wall. It is down on the beach. We will try and catch it open soon.
Mimi Frerichs was right about loving this Foretravel coach. We do indeed love it. It is so very comfortable and well thought out. David is fixing a leaky toilet today, but those things are to be expected on a moving vehicle. It is very comfortable riding and easy to drive. It needs a wheel alignment, but down shifts easily, and rides like a cloud. Punkin has settled in nicely and found her favorite clawing spot. I must get an alternative for her and see if we can prevent the damage. Probably not. She’s not very educable.
I haven’t been out to take pictures yet, so I will send this out to let you all know that we are making progress on the homeward side of the journey. Get rid of the cold before we get home, please. We have had nice views and fun places, but there is not place like Colorado I assure you. I miss the sunshine.
