Surf's Up

Got some fresh shrimp from a girl whose father runs some shrimp boats out of Palacio, north of here, in the Gulf of Mexico. They were HUGE and were great on the barbie!  Five bucks a pound -- we got 10 pounds and split them with our pals from South Dakota (he just happens to know how to cook them to perfection, and they WERE!)

We took the ferry over to Aransas pass the other day and saw a few big tugs pushing barges through the pass. It has been foggy and hot, 99% humidity for most of last week. Everything is damp in the camper, even the dogs. Not a real big fan of this :(

Went to a board shop in Port Aransas and checked out all the cool surfboards, etc., this week.  It is very tempting...
