Then to a computer center across the street and did our email. Off to Rockport and a great visit with family. Cousin Jan shared some new photos (with names) of the Vinall family with us. Great to finally know who these people are in the photo I had. Went to dinner with them and Jerry got more hugs and everyone got free pie for his birthday....love those small town cafe's!
Saturday, I went birding with a park volunteer couple, another couple who were very experienced birders and a single guy from WA who works for the fish and wildlife dept. All very interesting folks! Added 19 birds to my lifelist! Including two quite rare birds who are only in SW TX...a pair of white-tailed hawks and we think we saw the aplomato falcon but he flew before we got the scope set up. Was great to go with knowledgeable people!
In the afternoon, Jerry and I rode the dirt bike about 15 miles down the white sand beach and took pix, etc. Saw a deer along with many birds and lots of Portuguese man of war which had washed up on shore. It was hot and humid - about 80 degrees with equal humidity!
Sunday, we traveled NW about 4 hours to our lot north of San Antonio. Repaired (again) the bolt that runs our up/down legs on the front of the 5er. The bolt had broken up in St. Gen, MO when we were there and we replaced it with a temp. smaller version and bought replacements to be put in when we got to our lot...well, we had to do that before we could set up...only about a half-hour project. Good to be here with good friends!
Even got a pix of this old bird on the beach! LOL
