San Patricio County

Wanted to do some walking today. We walked a lot in Mexico last year but we stayed in walkable neighbourhoods and didn't rent a car. That's not really possible here.

Went to Pollywog Pond and Wildlife Sanctuary. It was certainly a mosquito sanctuary - we got eaten alive! This was the first time we encountered mosquitoes at all on this trip but they were so bad we couldn't complete the hike and had to turn around and go back. Before we fled though, we saw some birds of prey and butterflies. So cool to see butterflies in the winter.

Had a low tire and Earl divined a tire shop by turning the correct way on a whim and looking across the street. They had free air service right in the parking lot; didn't even have to go in.Read more
