South Padre Island, Texas

Harold and Pam drove us to Port Isabelle and South Padre Island for the day.  What a wonderful place.

We climbed to the top of the lighthouse in Port Isabelle.

From the top we could see the island and the causeway to the island.

There are some hotels and lots of touristy things to see. Pam and Harold stayed on the island for a month before moving to the Kenwood RV Resort where we are staying. They showed us around and we had some of if not the best shrimp ever at a restaurant called Dirty Al’s.  LINK

 

 

 

 

We visited the turtle rescue people LINK. To see the good work they are doing to help injured and sick sea turtles.

Hi I’m not feeling well.

 

 

 

Along the way we stopped to see some pelicans, they are all over here.

A local fisherman fed them some scraps and they went crazy.  P1030949

We ended the day walking out on the jetty and watching the sunset, and some dolphins swimming by.
