Nancy has gotten some beach time and we've been doing some biking. Saturday we walked to Jamaica Beach and looked around at the market they had set up that day. Quite a few vendors with crafts and food items. Lots of artwork and signs and such. All we walked away with were some home made cinnamon pecans which we are using in our salads.
We are here through Sunday and moving Monday morning. The next stop is Inks Lake west of Austin. We're heading back a bit west to meet up with our neighbors from Wheeler Road.
Here are a few pictures from the last few days...
Pleasure Pier is an amusement park on the breakwall on Galveston Island.
Beach buggy rentals and other great fun!
A view at the development north of the park. Lots of summer homes on the island.
This is the same spot looking in the opposite direction. The state park owns all of this land.
One of the more spectacular beach homes next to the park.
We surprised this Roseate Spoonbill at one of the kayak launches. It made for a great Kodak moment.
A snake crossing the road. Is it a water moccasin?
Looking across the marsh on the bay toward Jamaica Beach
We had this sunset one evening while the ITC Chemical storage facility was burning. Who knows what kind of chemicals were in the air at this point. The fire burned for four days spewing tons of soot and smoke into the atmosphere. The cloud drifted all the way past San Antonio. The EPA insisted that toxin levels were not a threat!
