You and Me and Rain on the Roof...

Rain on the roof sounds comfy-cozy in a song, bit it isn't my favorite camping scenario.  Port Aransas, Texas, is a cute little coastal town on the gulf, where the beach is considered a city street.  Before it started raining last night we enjoyed an amazing aquarium with jellyfish that looked like Christmas lights, and playfully cute Dolphins.  We visited the King Ranch and Museum, which began in the 1800's and still thrives today.  We drove to the tiny town of Lamar, to see 5-feet-tall (we were told) Whooping Cranes.  Though we did spot some cranes with our binoculars in a marsh beside the beach, they were disappointingly small.  While wondering if we'd been 'had' we stopped to admire this one thousand year old tree.

Jerry fished from the Jetty in the state park, where I found two starfish and a Sand dollar.

This is a view from my handlebars.

As I write this, we are about 95 miles from our next destination.  The rain has stopped, the skies are much brighter ahead, and  our plans include seeing family; San Antonio, here we come!
