Itchy Feet

Knew there was something up with me when I started thinking fondly of memories of dragging myself around hot and humid Kolkata streets!

So I set off for a day in San Antonio about 3 hours away from Rockport - site of The Alamo, a wonderful 2+ mile riverwalk that winds through the city, and other fabulous old buildings like the Spanish Governor's House....

I walked all around downtown in the heat & no Air Con. Bliss! Suffered a bit this morning from rusty joints.



Last week I went to an exhibition at the local surf museum in Corpus Christi, of South Texas women surfers since the 60s.


Very excited to find a star in the pavement outside the museum for Reverend Horton Heat.
They were inducted just the previous weekend into the Corpus Christi Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Can't believe my mistiming - it would have been so good to have heard them again. Heard them for the first time about 5 years ago at the East Coast Blues Festival.




Been touring around local landmarks lately too.

Here's Donna searching the shallows at Port Aransas, a local island surfing beach where we spent a lovely evening after work this week. This photo was taken about 7pm and there was lots of daylight still.


Liz and I went kayaking at Rattlesnake Point, the back bay, the next morning. We shared the canals and lakes with ducks, pelicans, and some black clouds that hovered but never quite made rain.



Apart from that, Liz and I have been having fun searching the internet for old buddies, waking them up with 5 am phone calls and being very proud of their achievements. Hope we don't lose touch again!
