Sun March 16

Hi  everybody.  well its not the best of days today--rainy,windy and on the cooler side of 60.  A couple of thundershowers went through  earlier this morning  and clouded over again  now.  I am sitting in front of a beachy store in downtown Palacios. It is only open on the weekends and full of lots of good things . Ron and I were on a walk through town and came across it.
Another restaurant we came across--it was  a Monday and also closed. We had eaten here at the Lumber Yard Grill on our last trip here and the food was delish. Will have to try it again before  we leave.
The north winds were 40mph on the day of our walk and so it had blown a lot of water OUT to sea and along with low tide ,many of the oyster shells were exposed along the boardwalk.
Its obvious why there aren't many people wading in the salt water around here.
We were talking with the museum curator and she mentioned that the round dance pavilion that was once attached to the pier  blew down in a storm back in 2012. It is in the works to replace and relocate it by the pavilion committee some time in the near future. It was one of their historical landmarks .
Well bye for now..Its almost time for us to start heading back home after our time in  sunny south Texas. Will keep you posted on our departing date...take care all...Ron and Dee
