Let’s see... Port Aransas... The beach camping is great. The weather is great. The biking and beach walking are great. Let’s hang out here another day. So we did. Probably one of the longest times we have stayed in one place when on one of these trips. Three days. Must be a pretty cool place. Yep.
And today, being a Monday, it’s considerably quieter here than the last couple of days. Now the weekenders are gone and the only people left are fishermen and retirees.
Today we hiked to the Port Aransas jetty and spent some time watching the dolphins and the pelicans and the boats. Big boats. Very big boats. Although this one was a rowboat compared to the oil platform that moved through here yesterday.
Wow. We’re really starting to act like retirees.
We biked to several areas in town: Roberts Point Park, Port Aransas Nature Preserve, the Joan and Scott Hold Paradise Pond, and of course the Port A Beach, where we have been camping out for the past three days.
Looking back at it, it appears that we didn’t really do much, but sometimes that’s the point. To slow down and enjoy the day and enjoy the area.
A steady diet of this would probably eventually drive me nuts. God didn’t put us on this earth to be on a perpetual vacation. But He does give periods of rest and for that we are thankful.
