February 22, 2016 South Padre Island (Inverness Condos, South Padre Island, TX)

We are in a condo on South Padre Island, thanks to Evelyn and Gary renting through their time share.

The sixth floor gives a great view of the Gulf of Mexico.

The weather is in the mid 70's with mostly sunshine.

We enjoyed the farmer's market yesterday.  There were lots of different varieties of vegetables and fruits.  We brought home "raspberry chipotle" and "mango haberno" jellies.
Both flavors were delicious with cream cheese and crackers.

We also bought a container of "Mexican shrimp cocktail".  This was okay for a few bites then that was enough.

We drove the north to the end of the island!  No development the last three or four miles.  The sand/beach is constantly changing due to the winds.

We are getting ready to go to the Sea Turtle Sanctuary.

As far north on the island as the road goes!

Last Friday Jeff went fishing with Fred on Falcon Lake.  The result: 26 crappie--all about 12-14 inches long.
