Oil rigs galore
6 Aralık 2016, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F
Driving over the causeway into town yesterday we opened the window for a photo. Ahh ... I'd recognize that smell anywhere. Raw crude oil. Since my dad and his dad made their livings in the oil industry, it doesn't really smell bad to me. It smells like industry, and prosperity.

Downtown, all along the bay, there were enormous oil rigs waiting to cast out to sea. A working town. With real people, even in the midst of all the tourists.Okumaya devam et

The scenery south of our campground was gorgeous in the sun.

We tried driving out to some dunes but gave up as the post-torrent lakes were scaresome and our 4-wheel drive untested.

Exploring the campground
6 Aralık 2016, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
It's not JUST a campground. It's an RV RESORT! We decided to explore on our way to get ice.

We enjoyed the 30 foot hot tub last night when it was raining cats and dogs, but couldn't really see much through the steam. Nice, huh? I especially liked the pirate climbing the rigging overhead.

Wish we could have enjoyed the pool, though lounging beside it still works. But I REALLY wanted to belly up to the tiki bar with the underwater seats. Gordon thinks we need to shimmy on down to Key West as they are SURE to have swimming pool bars.

Then there were the pirates. And the sharks. We might need to stay another day!Okumaya devam et

Lunch at the Sunflower Bakery and Cafe
7 Aralık 2016, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
Well how much trouble can it BE to find shrimp and grits in Galveston?

Needless to say, we worked up quite an appetite on the beach (but then we work up an appetite doing laundry ... sometimes I wonder if we are part Hobbit). We had carefully researched the matter of shrimp and grits, and based on reviews and photos, determined that the BEST to be found would be at the Mosquito Cafe. Alas, we may never know. By the time we got there, they had stopped serving breakfast and they ONLY serve said dish at BREAKFAST.

Hmmph. So we walked down the street to the Sunflower Bakery and Cafe whose food had also interested us. No shrimp and grits, but they were still serving breakfast and guess what. They had pecan pancakes. And what could be more Texan than pecans? Was there a choice?

The walk was also a revelation of tropical flowers planted everywhere about, which warmed the cockles of the gardener's soul.Okumaya devam et

Last time we were in New Orleans, the KOA was flooded by a storm that dropped 10 inches of rain. This time the KOA was flooded by a burst water main. We had to move our trailer at 8pm to avoid the rising flood. Heather said I needed to say that I almost ran her down while we were moving the trailer, but In my defense, it was dark and I was excited by the flooding.Okumaya devam et
