Hi, Y’all.  We have been here at Port Lavaca, Texas for the last two days.  We are staying at a real find.  It’s called Port Lavaca Light House RV park.  Another one of those million dollar sites with views to die for.

We are only NE of Corpus Christie about 70 miles but in another world.  We are now in Bayou country.  Lots of salt water marshes and signs warning of gators.

Our RV site is looking right into the bay with an 180 degree view.  But like Corpus we have abundant wind.  In fact so much wind that I didn’t sleep much last night.  It was blowing from the North which always means lower temperatures according to the locals.  Today it was in the high 60s and will be warming up in the days to come.  Hardly no humidity which is nice for a change.

Today we did some wash and dried out our sheets and towels from our days dry camping at Bird Island.  I have to admit that roughing it in a park with 50+ channels and full hookups is really the way to go.  Every day I tell Claudia that “this is living.”

We got an email from the Gesslers and they are heading home from So. Carolina and are fine but looks like they are very concerned about weather conditions.  We are as well but haven’t had any threatening conditions yet.  We have yet to experience the down pours that they have gone through.

We got some interesting pictures of some weird shore birds.  Claudia is, as we speak, checking out our bird books.  Our goal is to see and get a picture of a red cardinal.  We’ll see.

On one side of us our neighbors are from the Texas Hill Country.  Really nice and travel all over the states in their 40 footer.  The other side is a couple from Wisconsin .  They gave us some good tips for visiting Louisiana as  they are working their way from East to West.  That’s half the fun of traveling as you meet the nicest people who are rv’rs.

We are all leaving Lavaca tomorrow morning and going our different directions.

Claudia just found one of the birds we saw today.  It is a Western Sandpiper.  Another one is a Long Billed Curlew.  Check out your books you bird lovers !

Tomorrow we are off to the Houston area and Galveston Island .
