Well we left North Padre Island this am after a walk on the beach and a little beach clean up for them. We were in a primitive campsite and also totally out of any signals. No communication with anyone. Then we must have done something wrong and run the batteries completely down so then we had no power unless we ran the generator to charge the batteries. It was no problem for us as the skies were absolutely beautiful and the weather was warm. I got out walking on the beach last nite tho and before the moon came up I could barely find my way back, as my headlamp was also losing power. It's really erie. Ring out there in the pitch black alone with a black dog! We walked on the beaches, Leroy flew kites, I practiced my recorder and harmonica outside in the sun, I sketched in the beach. It was so nice, We went with the rangers and naturalists on everything, we went to a photography class, a birding class, a bird tour, a beach walk, and a plant walk, we soaked up all the info we could. And hopefully I will retain some, it was wonderful. This a a place we will come back to or maybe even volunteer at. The sands are white and soft, better than in cancan where the sand is coral eaten and pooped out tiger fish feces. That doesn't sound so good at all.
I have gotten so many birds added to my life list. Now we are headed to where the whooping cranes area and then back thru friedricksburg so Leroy can see the WWII museum. Then to Austin where we check out the area and look up some old friends. Texas is an amazing state and really has so many diverse areas and things to offer, I thought it was just a big flat state that didn't have much but one month can not even touch it all.
Now after leaving the sand we need to find a place to wash these dogs. They are dirty. Haven't been washed since end of oct.
