Almost there!

We drove from Cameron, Tx with the greatest intention of setting up camp in the Mustang Island State Park. Good sense prevailed over haste so we are still at a motel this evening just outside of Corpus Christi which is very near Mustang State Park. We will head there early in the morning so we can set up camp, blow out the anti-freeze in the pipes and fill with clean water. Each mile we traveled south became warmer until the temp reached a high of 74 degrees at about 1:00PM CST. We also came into our first Pecan trees which are beautiful - they are huge, & still green at this time of year. Has anyone heard of the "Vine that ate the South"? We saw the first evidence of it as we traveled through Odem, Tx. Google that one you guys!!! It is called Kudzu. Check it out. Also while on the topic of invasive species, try Mistletoe. We saw what it has done to many trees down in this area. Mistletoe is a parasite and kills what it feeds from, which down here are many varieties of trees. (Which puts a whole new meaning to a "Kiss under the Mistletoe")

Manana --- Which is the accepted word for "tomorrow" now that we are here in the south of Texas; we plan to do our first night of real true RV camping. Buenos noches amigos!!

I am sending along a couple of pictures of today - Southern religious art and eat your heart out, we have the AC on!!!!
