Tried a border run again. Out in the boonies we had an electrical incident which caused minor concern. Now we are on TX highway # 4 east of Brownsville, looking at the last battle of the Civil War plaque, turns out it memorializes the battle a month after the end of the war.
On the way back we stopped at the border patrol and called New Ulm at that stop. New Ulm Jensen's said if they did not put a new battery in, have it done and they will take care of it. Well we got directions from OnStar, they gave us directions to a Cad dealer. Then they called the Cad dealer and hooked me to him. When we arrived with the MN plates the group jumped in the car and 35 minutes we were on our way, no cash changed hands. I pulled in behind a Viper, blue and when started it snorted, neat car. The service guy had an 81 Vette, we hit it off fast. We were seated in the visitor room and then they brought in two calendars, one a GM super car and a 08 GM car's one. They sure treated us well, much like I feel when I go to Jensen's.
Here is for Sheryl and the girls. The first was a sand carving at South Padre Island visitor center, next is a tortoise by Wyland on the Whaling Wall of the convention center, the last is in a sea turtle rescue park on the Island, specie Hawksbill, the upper shell has a beautiful rich reddish brown or dark brown mottling. At the center we walked out on a board walk and looked at the many birds in the waters and mud flats.
We walked the shore for about a mile, again I was washed by the waves washing onto the beach. Reminds me of Door County with the Grand-daughters on those rocks.This is NOT Jerry, but they invited me and had it been 40 years ago, I would have.
So where did we eat? At The Palms Resort outside by the beach on the Island. Shirleen had a nice piece of red snapper with Caesar salad, I deep fried oysters, shrimp and fish, scrumptious. The evening was at a restaurant across from the hotel, Cobbleheads Bar and Grill, we split some enchiladas, tacos and a flat taco. jerr
