South Padre Island

FRI May 21

I have never been to Brownsville and never been to South Padre Island, back when I was in college in San Antonio we used to go down to Corpus Christi and Padre Island a couple time a summer but that was a l o n g time ago. It was great being back on the Gulf and saltwater that was a decent temperature. [My opinion is that the Pacific is way too cold.]

South Padre Island looks crowded and very much like lots of pictures I have seen of many seaside beach communities. But that’s what draws people and there are a lot of nice homes and hotels.

After hanging out at the beach for awhile I headed over to the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. I only saw shorebirds but there are also ocelots, alligators and sea turtles.

The Refuge was nice but it was spoiled by Best Buy calling me that they wanted $250.00+ to fix my computer. I can receive e-mail via my Outlook program but I can’t send and Best Buy says it is Trojan Horse, etc, etc, etc. I decided to wait and get it checked again in San Antonio.
