Padre Island N.S. Night two

This is our campsite on evening two, the winds were gusting up to 40mph  from the south changing to the north sometime in the middle of the night.  If you look closely you can see the tent bowing in due to the wind, don't worry Matt had the tent staked down real well.  The chairs have not blown away because we have them up against the pole with the winds pushing them into the pole.

Dinner that night was difficult.  Due to the high winds everything was blown by the high winds.  You would set something down and woosh!  There it goes across the sand.  Matt tried the stove on the table but the wind kept pushing it, sooo we moved it to underneath the table to shield the wind.  

Remember how I said we were the talk of the neighborhood   He was cooking dinner just like this, a truck pulls up and they told Matt "Only a real man goes tent camping in 40 mph winds"

Went back to Paul's Seafood Market and got shrimp for tacos again with zucchini  onions, and red beans and rice.  This was the freshest shrimp we have ever eaten   Due to the high winds this meal took two hours to make.  

He's so happy with his shrimp tacos.

This is our tea system every morning.  Heat the water in the jet boil (that's the  tall thing in the center) pour into Matt's and my mugs.

During the day we went into town to have a nail removed from one of the tires.  On the way back to the park we stopped to buy the shrimp then decided to stop at a German bakery.  We bought this blueberry strudel, Oh it was so good.  It was so yummy the next morning we stopped on our way out of the area.  Strudel to go!

These are pictures of the campground from the dunes separating us from the beach.  To the right is a little theater for presentations on Wed. nights.  On the upper picture we are straight ahead in the center; Look for the little blue tent.

We had no cell signal, so Matt would climb this sand dune to catch 1-2 bars to call Michael or check the weather.  This was a nice park, beautiful.  The people were friendly and helpful.  We would have stayed longer but the wind was hard to manage.
