February 25, 2008

Today has been another leisurely day with nothing more than shopping and visiting, very relaxing - how am I going to adjust to home???.

If you should ever have the experience of visiting South Padre Island you must take the time to stop at K’s Jewelry. The owner has been here for years and makes awesome jewelry. You design it she will make it or you can purchase items she has already made. People pick shells and parts of shells along the beach, take them to Kay and she turns them into a piece of art. Many bring the necklaces home to family and friends as souvenirs of South Padre – one lady had 35 made, she came by to pick them up when I was at the store. They were just beautiful!

Men - doing the guy thing
Miles of shrimp boats are docked due to high fuel costs - residents are afraid they may loose the shrimp boats and the delicious shrimp they catch entirely!

The Padre

The causeway bridge between South Padre Island and St. Isobelle
They have a swing bridge - small scale but operates similar to the one on Manitoulin
