On Friday the 23, Roger and I decided to drive to South Padre Island and check it out for a days outing. It was just the two of us, but we went walking on the beach, visited the Sea Turtles at the rescue place. We sure enjoyed it and learned a lot about sea turtles. Neither one of us new that the sea turtle could not retract their heads and legs like the land turtles do. This is one of the reasons they come to the rescue place and praetors will attact them and they may be missing part or all of their flippers. I am sorry we did not get any pictures of this, I forgot to charge the batteries in camera before leaving, so we only got a few photos to share with you. After visiting the turtles, we drove north up the Island then turned around and headed towards a restaurant we had heard so much about, Dirty Al's. Got there about 12:30 and it was packed and people standing around. Roger didn't want to wait, so off we went to find someplace else. We picked a place we should of drove by, but we learned a lesson, if the parking lot is almost empty at 12:30pm and no one is sitting in there, turn around and leave. Nine chances out of ten, the food is no good. We would of done better eating at Long John Silvers across the street.

Sunday night we went to a program here at the park, six dollars each, but well worth it. It was called Bernie and Red, husband and wife, from Canada. The sang some and did comedy. I laughed so hard thought I would pee my pants..................very funny.
Today we were picked up by our friends, Larry and MaryAnn from Hersey PA. They are staying in the park next to ours and we have visited each other a number of times. Off we went to the Horseman's Club for the RV.net Winter Texan Party. What a great time we had, it was so good to see old friends (this was our 2nd year to go) and meet new people. You see their names when they post on the RV.net forums, and this gives you a chance to put a face to that name. We ate, introduced ourselves, had door prizes, had a talk about RVing in Mexico and then our entertainment along with some dancing. What fun.
