Monday, 2 January 2017: South Padre Island, Texas


Justin's poor sleep hygiene coupled with his creeping crud means he doesn't sleep well at night but this morning, he was able to find some rest.  We were able to catch up with Kim and Brian.  They are winding down the holidays after entertaining most of Kim's family in Italy.  Having been in Europe most of the last year, Brian will head to Croatia for a month or so and then Kim will meet him there for a visit before he heads back to Canada.



We had planned to drive to the north end of Padre Island Blvd (State Park Road 100) and then hike in the dunes for a couple of hours.  We got half way there when I heard the strangest noises from under our car.  Well, a couple of days ago when parking a crawled too far up on a curb.  It must have taken a day or two to sheer the fasteners off and now, when a bit more loose, the entire underskirt scrapes on the pavement.  Duck tape to the rescue... or at least a partial rescue on the way to the local body shop in Port Isabel.  Forty five dollars and a couple of hours later we were on the dunes and it was fabulous!  We were there in plenty of time for sunset.
