On the Beach and moving on
We spent a lot of time roaming around on the beach looking for sand dollars and seashells.  When it was time to leave Port Aransas we drove to South Padre Island and stayed two nights there, visiting Matamoros, Mexico on the day between.
Under the pier One footed gull
This one-footed gull managed to get around almost as well as those with two feet. 
This was taken under the pier where I set up headquarters.  With my beach chair, water bottle, cameras and plastic bags, I was ready for a day of shelling.
Lighthouse
Carl and pelican sign
The Port Isabel Lighthouse.  Our last stop before heading inland.
We got a kick out of the "Watch for Pelicans when Flashing" sign at the entrance to the South Padre Island causeway.  We saw lots of Pelicans, but none of them flashed us.


We had a great time visiting Matamoros and Progresso, Mexico. Progresso is a great shopping town. Some of Christmas 2002 came from there! I'm ready to go again.
