The Ultimate in Sand Castles !

Beautiful Sunset on Padre Island !

Here I am in a Beach Wheelchair, the only way I could see the Beach.  Such a humbling experience to have Paul do this for me !

Our site on Padre Island.

Paul pulled one of these " With the hose on it ", 50 years ago every Wednesday afternoon 

at Army HQ. 

"Old Sparky" performed well for thirty years at Huntsville Prison in Texas !

Crossed over to Padre Island,Texas at Port Aransas, five minute ferry, drove down Island to The Padre Island National Seashore, camped for nothing for three days, what beautiful beaches, slept to the sound of waves each night.  The birds are extraordinary, pelicans, laughing gulls, cranes, herons, and many others, also a few sharks!  They had ballon wheel wheelchairs for the beach, so took Trish for a run on the beach, you can go for 55 miles but we only went .5 of a mile!  Ate at a restaurant where we watched fisherman on the pier, guys surfing and pelicans waiting for the fishermen to throw them their catch, it's against the rules, but we observed a few pelicans swallowing the evidence!
