The last of our stay at Harlingen

We are doing well and having a good time. We had Christmas dinner here at the park. They served Ham and potatoes. Everyone brought a dish so we had tons of food to eat. It was a great time for over 250 people. The other day we went to Port Isabel on the way to South Padre Island. We stopped at the old Light House and I climbed the stairs to the top. Sure have a great view of the area. Gloria stayed at the bottom as the stairs are real steep. We also went to the Maritime Museum and looked at all the history of the area. Then we went out on South Padre Island and drove north along the island. Not much there to see and lots of hotels. Not sure why anyone would want to stay there as the wind sure gets with it there. We went out on the beach as we wanted to say we were there. Took some pictures and left. Then we headed back south to Breakaway Tours as we had tickets for there Dolphin Watch tour. Gloria had won a ticket at a give away drawing. The boat was a good size one so the choppy water was no big deal. We got to see some Dolphins and Pelicans in the bay and even got to go out into the Gulf and play in the high waves. They did not stay there long as the waves were very high. I even spotted a Sea Turtle swimming in the bay. We will be spending New Year day here and may do the celebration at the club house. Then we leave here on the 2nd head to Arizona and then on to Calif. Will post more as we go. I have posted more pictures so if you want to see them click the link.
