Texas Catch-Up

We've been in Port Aransas, Texas on Mustang Island for about two weeks now, and have settled into a routine. This post is a catch-up on some of the events getting here and more recent.

We've been told that a 14' alligator lives along the trail we walk for birdwatching. Have yet to see the critter, but we don't doubt that he exists.

Some of the scenery we saw at Benbrook Lake (near Fort Worth) on the way down. This is a sunrise.

The ferry from Port Aransas only takes about five minutes, but sometimes the traffic is heavy and there can be a wait. Large ships pass through the canal between Corpus Christi and The Gulf.

This little dove showed up in our yard in Port A. It was abnormally friendly.

Thanksgiving dinner at our RV resort was a cooperative effort. The resort owners provided and prepared the turkey and ham. Other guests provided the other fixings.

Pat with a couple of our neighbors.

There was NO shortage of food, and someone did remember Cranberry sauce this year. No green jell-o, but there was jell-o of other flavors (or colors, if you prefer).

Tomorrow, Friday, is another day off. Oh, I guess all of them are days off for us. We're taking the guided beach walk to see if we can learn a thing or three about what we're finding washed up on the beach.
