DSCN0331On our route to and from Port Aransas every summer, we pass the forbidding walls of the old precidio. With its chapel in the background. As for those flags, let’s see now:  Spain, France, First (1812) Republic of Texas, Mexico, Second (1821) Republic of Texas, Dimmitt’s (1835) Goliad Flag, Third (1836) Republic of Texas, Confederate States of America, United States of American. Whew.

Off to the beach

Looks like Fay will not be joining us at Port Aransas, although some big waves from her intensity as she sweeps through Florida just might. It happened with Ivan in 2006. In any case we’re outta here until Thursday. Off to see the likes of Ruby Begonia, the Presidio La Bahia, and other familiar but still amazing attractions, along the trail to Port A, which is on Mustang Island in the Gulf of Mexico. Adios.

UPDATE: Returned sunburned but happy on the 21st. Drove down in the rain, and it rained off and on for a few days. But there were some afternoons when the sun came out, so the gang had a good one. Mr. B. even got to try boogie boarding, similar to surf boarding, which he pronounced strenuous but fun.
