Tuesday, 13 November. We spent most of the day getting ready for
our departure tomorrow morning. Mainly
RV maintenance, inside cleaning/storing things away, and of course, some
grocery shopping to re-stock the cupboards.
We did, however, convince Doug & Beke to let us take them to dinner
at a local restaurant. We picked them up
at their place and headed out for some good Tex-Mex food at one of their
favorite places, La Casona’s. Once
again, great food (and plenty of it – we all took home doggie bags), delicious
margaritas, and wonderful dinner company/conversation.
Stuffed full of good Tex-Mex, Beke never-the-less convinced me to sample some Blue Bell
ice cream back at their place to top off the evening. Beke also had some homemade ice cream
sandwiches for us (I mean, me) to sample.
Quite good, I can report. After
more conversation and visiting over the excellent Blue Bell ice cream, we said
our “Goodbyes” and headed back to your campsite. Again, “Thanks ever so much”, Doug & Beke, for your wonderful, warm hospitality. We look forward to hooking up with you
guys down the road sometime next year.
Let’s make it happen, okay?
Our visit to this part of Texas turned out to be one great
experience. We saw some family we
haven’t seen for years and got re-acquainted; paid a visit to the Johnson Space
Center and were pleasantly surprised; and had a chance to really re-connect
with a great cousin and his wife – all from the comforts of a well-maintained
campground on the Gulf of Mexico.
Tomorrow, 14 November, we head north on Texas Hiway 288 and will skirt the center of Houston by taking Loop 610 around the east side, where we'll pick up I-10 East. Our destination is Lake Charles, LA, where we hope to find a good Cajun restaurant!
