Awake: 6:15am Temp 43 sleep 5+58 light rain all night + intermittent throughout the day overnight @ Goliad, TX.
Kathy & I do 30 min of cardio & stretching exercise using “Fit TV.”
After breakfast, we tour the: “Presidio La Bahia” less than a mile south of our campground. This Colonial Spanish Fort (established in 1749) served to protect the Texas coast from invasions from Mexico as well as to protect the nearby Mission Espiritu Santo during the Texas Revolution. The Catholic Diocese of Victoria now operates the walled Presidio La Bahia, a National Historic Landmark. Mass is still held on weekends @ Our lady of Loreto Chapel which is attached to the Fort. In fact, we considered attending Mass there on Sunday until Kathy found out: the chapel is not heated.
Back in the town of Goliad, we visit the “SoHo Emporium” and the “Sentimental Journey” both stores in the town Square; lots of antiques from the local areas on display as well as some local art. The museum in town is closed due to illness of the curator; otherwise we are being chased back to our motorhome with heavier rain.
5:15 dinner: Tuna steak, leftover whole wheat noodles, leftover brown rice, fresh cauliflower & asparagus + a mixed salad.
Late satellite movie: “Out of Sight” with George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle, etc. During an escape an imprisoned hunk of a bank robber encounters a female federal marshal who is torn between tracking down & getting down with the felon. Once out, the criminal plans a jewel heist with a number of unsavory characters & his hopeful paramour close behind. The movie features probably the funniest fatal-head-wound scene ever filmed. 1998. Not too shabby of a flick.
