Last Sunday William and I drove down to South Padre Island to spend a week on the beach. It feels like we were gone longer than just a week. Just postcards, no computers, no contact with the place we left behind. I missed my kitties, bunny and chickies but they were in excellent care so I couldn't worry. All we had to do was relax and take it in.
While we were on vacation I realized that no matter where we are books and vinyl are a constant. I found an awesome book called Native Funk and Flash by Alexandra Jacopetti for $1.75. This is a truly awesome book and if you Google it you'll find more than enough on it. William found a buzillion awesome, rare and long wanted records at an antique store and all 50% off. Treasure hunting. We stopped at the local book store where I bought a few books by local authors on SPI and sea shells. William bought a copy of And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks by Kerouac and Burroughs. We brought on our own books but it's hard to pass on the new and interesting.
The beach, the waves, the gulls and the dolphins will be carrying on as they always do. Tomorrow I'll be back at work thinking about them all. I'll miss Mayola's, this place had the best Mexican food I've had in awhile. Better than Cha-Cha's in San Antonio and they were pretty awesome. Mayola's food was fresher than fresh and a Mexican soup of the day was served with every meal at lunch. Thinking of their chips and salsa right now is making my mouth water. That is just their chips and salsa!
We couldn't stay away from The Light House Square in Port Isabel especially this cute lil flea market tucked between the boutiques. They had gorgeous Oaxacan art work from San Bartolo, lovely pieces of jewelry and beautiful stones from Mexican mines.
We accompanied Scarlet and Rozzie on their pontoon boat in search of their dolphin friends and found them. I have never seen dolphins in person and they were all around us. Scarlett opened the Dolphin Research and Sea Life Nature Center in Port Isabel and I wish she were my new boss. I'd love to see dolphins every day! There was love and cuteness waiting for us at home. We couldn't help but wonder what kitties on the beach would do.

The water became crystal clear the day before and seemed even clearer this morning when we left. |
