Sunny and warmer


Much warmer today!  We got out for a fairly early beach walk.  This bird is usually waiting for us on the walk back, but takes off when he sees Budger.

Today's shells.  They are really pretty big!

We met Bruce and Roberta in Galveston today for lunch at Mario's.  Great Italian buffet for lunch!  


While at Mario's, we found out that Galveston celebrates Mardi Gras for two weekends... This coming weekend, and next weekend.  And 150,000 extra people come to town both weekends.  So we decided to pick up all necessary grocery store supplies while we were in town, and plan to stay out in Jamaica Beach over the weekend!

We needed to walk off everything we ate at lunch, so we meandered down the sea wall, enjoyed the sunshine, and popped into a few shops (I was going to buy some shoes at one store, but the ones I wanted, I could only find the one shoe that was the display... The other half of the pair was MIA.  And of course, that was the only one of that style left).

While we were resting along the seawall, I spotted where some energetic person has been doing some rock stacking.



We figured up later that we had walked over 6 miles up and down the seawall, so we're definitely just chilling tonight.  Not even going to the covered dish dinner here, because we're still full from lunch!

Bruce and Roberta are moving on tomorrow, but we'll cross paths with them again soon in the Orange Beach area, and then spend a month with them in Cedar Key, so the good-byes today weren't too difficult.
