Saturday - on South Padre Island

• another warm, mostly clear, breezy morning; temp 73; high to be only 78.
• breakfast at the Hall as on all Saturdays.
• drove the 75 miles to South Padre Island for a full day of fun.
• first we spent an hour or so on the beach getting lots of sand in our toes.
• then we had a wonderful lunch at Parrot Eyes; yum, yum.
• attended the Kitefest; beautiful & very unusual kites.
• then we went to the park on the south end because it has a shelter (shade); temp was hot 85; bright sun.
• then had some ice cream at the gift shop; and while we were there heard a severe thunderstorm warning.
• so on our way home we were drenched; had to slow to 30; but no rain by the time we got back to Pharr.
• Jim & Denise went to play Bingo at Pharr South.
• Enjoy the many pictures taken by yours truly (last 2), Denise (middle 18) & Diane (first 3).
• after driving 150 miles today, I'm too tired to think up captions; just enjoy the pictures.
