It was the usual long haul back this afternoon. Coming back from Port A always seems harder than going down there. Anticipation is over, I suppose. We did stop for lunch in Cuero, for a change, at one of the town’s mainstay eateries, a 50-year-old burger joint called K&N Root Beer.
And we took pictures in Goliad of La Bahia, including the Fannin memorial, The Angel, Gen. Zaragoza’s statue, and the chapel at La Bahia, all of which I will explain in my own way when I get the pictures posted, one at a time over the next month or so.
Finally we stopped in Lulling to take snaps of the decorated oil pump jacks: a Killer Whale and two kids eating watermelon on a teeter-totter. Touristing, you might say, though we’ve seen it all a thousand times. Comforting, though.
Mr. B. said “it felt like it clamped on me and stung,” describing the Sea Nettle that got him in the water today at the beach. He said he ran away from it and it let go. Seem to be a lot more of them than usual this year. Really hot and high humidity, too, but it’s usually like that.
