February 26 2013 7:30 pm cst    62 degrees

We were driving around the port of Brownsville this weekend, looking at the shrimp boats
and saw this place where they sell wholesale shrimp just off the boat..

You get this chart of actual size  shrimp and order from there.  Might mention that it was Sunday morning and the top three sizes were sold out already.    This is wholesale so we didn't order anything then but maybe  later  we can have a shrimp on the barbie with Barbie  (and Neil) cookout.  Yum.
Have you ever seen where all that scrap metal that you take to the recycle ends up? Huge place.
 
 
Moving on to the island..........
 
It was high tide when we got to South Padre Island but we went to the opposite end from where we usuallly go.
The tide was bringing in all this yucky seaweed and what we thought were jellyfish.

 
 
Turns out these blue bladder like things are part of the seaweed... They pop if you step on them.  Don't ask me how I know.
I took this picture beause I thought it was  the typical winter Texan:  Two old people, two lawn chairs, a dog and a lot of time on their hands.  Life is good.
Neil went back to the car for something and poor Howie thought he had been abandoned
I like the name of this road. It just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
 
 
Crested Caracara....or sometimes called the Mexican Eagle.  It is actually a falcon.
