Tuesday - March 27 - Today was mainly sunny but still windy. We drove to Padre Island and it reminds us of places like Myrtle Beach - lots of hotels, condos, t-shirt shops, etc. etc. The beach isn’t as nice as in Gulf Shores and there was a lot sea weed on shore which was quite smelly. It was very rough today so lots of waves coming in.

We drove through Brownsville on our way back but again didn’t find anything real exciting about it. I went for a swim when we got back and Marion & George were in the pool so invited us down for a drink after dinner, we had a good visit with them.
