Awake: 7:20am Temp 46 sleep 6+16 overcast….then SUN overnight @ Goliad, Texas.
After breakfast, I call & make reservations for tomorrow @ another State campground down south in a town called Falcon.
Call Gary & Rosemary C. They are in their comfortable home enjoying a day of leisure while outside, the 1st real accumulation of snow continues to fall.
Call Gary & Grace J. They are motoring down I-95 as we speak; destination, warmer climate with sunshine.
Speaking of sunshine; we finally have some of that. K& I walk the campground, then visit the Espiritu Santo Work Building where the Missionaries taught the Indians crafts: weaving string from cotton & wool; dyeing thread, etc. Charlie the curator & demonstrator, had a lot of good info to show & tell us, but we had to cut him short due to our commitment of watching a demo on: “Birds of Prey.” The lady, (Fran), age 81, works for the Texas State Parks & carries (3) birds in her van: A Great Horned Owl; the American Sparrow Hawk & the Mexican Eagle. Amazing how some of these wild creatures can be tamed & trained. Over 50 people attended this excellent show.
Such a beautiful day; K & I attempt to carry on where we left off with Charlie the Curator & demonstrator but by now, he had already gathered another crowd of interested people in the work shop building. So we took a good walk on a nature trail, then down the road to the group trailer campground area & back to our camping site via an asphalt bike path. About 1.5 hrs of good paced walking; we needed that.
While Kathy’s making dinner, I prep our motorhome for travel; slide tops cleaned off, then retracted; Suzuki hooked up, etc.
7:30pm dinner: “T” bone steak with baked potato, sautéed mushrooms & a mixed salad.
Later in the evening, Kathy sends her friend Marlyce (3) photos from our web site gallery. This was her 1st experience in sending photos from our own web gallery. She was pretty happy to have done that.
