January 18, 2015. Fun-filled day on South Padre Island

CAMPGROUND:  8th (and final) night at Isla Blanca
WEATHER:  Sunny. Highs around 70.  Perfect!

We had a busy day, taking advantage of the nice weather.  

First, we biked around the island, and stopped at a restaurant across the street featuring free nachos during the football game.  

Then, we took a drive to the northern part of the island.  We passed lots of tourist shops like this one.

We stopped at Padre Island Brewpub to fill up our growler, to be prepared for potential "dry" places ahead.  George filled it with Nortena, their winter warmer ale.

Back at the campground, we prepared for tomorrow's departure, including loading the bikes up.

We joined neighbor friends from the U.P. Michigan whom we met last year, and walked to a bay front restaurant near the campground.  We sat outside, and watched the porpoises frolic in the bay, and the seagulls searching for food.  You can see our campground across the water.

We had $1.99 margaritas on the deck.

 
We watched the sun set and fishing boats returning from a day in the Gulf.

DINNER:  Grilled cheese and salami sandwiches with the muffaletta spread from Louisiana.  Side dish was browned okra.  Grocery shopping tomorrow!
