January 28, 2017. Windy weather on the island

CAMPGROUND:  Another night at Isla Blanca

LOCATION:  South Padre Island 

WEATHER:  Blustery. Cold. Highs in 50s  

The winds were very strong during the night.  Our Airstream "rocked and rolled" in the wind.  We awoke to find that the electricity had gone out during the night.  We were ok as we switched the refrigerator to gas and were able to heat water for coffee on the gas stove.  

 

Since it was fairly dismal weather,  we drove to the Visitors Center to use their wifi again.  Back at the camper, we had a fancy lunch of shrimp cocktail.  Our $4 shrimp purchase has now lasted us 3 meals!

Then, we went to see the movie La La Land, along with lots of other people.  The theater was packed.  I really liked it.  George was so-so.

 

To kill some time, we went to a marina whose bar sells $1.99 margaritas.  We had one, while we watched the strong waves.

DINNER:  We went to one of our favorite restaurants on the island, Gabriellas.  We shared a pizza, one of the best I've ever eaten.  George was happy as they supposedly have the best craft beer selection on the island.  

 

With the electricity restored, we watched the dismal Trump news on TV.  Bleh!
