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.
