South Padre Isl /Los Fresnos Feb 8

shrimp boats

loader moving sand off the road

So. Padre Isl downtown
we made it and are having a ball visiting with Tom and Aggie King, our friends from PA. They took us down to South Padre Island , it was totally awsome. I was expecting sand dunes and barren beaches. Nope SPI downtown is tall buildings and lots of retail.  When we got to the beach, it becomes very seashorelike. dunes, waves and sort of like capecod. very nice! the wind was blowing and it was the first time I ever saw a big frontend loader clearing the sand off the road, to keep it open. we drove quite a ways and then the road just ended. it becomes a national seashore and no roads.
  posting this for now, to let you all know that we are well and having a great time. seems we get so busy that we haven't been very good on keepng this up to date.  lots more to tell
