Awake: 6:08am Temp 67 sleep 6+09 sunny overnight @ Galveston Island, TX.
G & G leave us & the campground @ 7:35 am ……heading back to Pennsylvania with a few stops to visit family & friends along the way. We felt like we were losing a really good neighbor & traveling companions when they honked & drove away this morning.
Before breakfast, K & I walk to the Park Headquarters & try to sign up for another day of camping (Saturday). We know the campground is scheduled to be full Saturday but sometimes there are cancellations. The ranger tells us to check back with her just before 2:00pm Saturday afternoon. Then K & I continue walking the beach for another hr.
Mid morning, I began filling out our 2006 Tax organizer & write a few checks to pay a few bills; this & a few other chores consume the rest of the morning & most of the afternoon.
Oh yes, my hero & mild mannered traveling companion Gary, called mid morning & talked with Kathy: he thinks maybe he lost his ring of keys back around their campsite when leaving this morning. One of the keys opens their fuel tank & they really need that one. This is serious so we got right with the hunt…..but found nothing; Kathy also notified the campground host of his possible loss of keys.
Maybe 35 min later, Gary called again to let us know; he found the key ring in a compartment with the water hose. Those darn hoses, they are so sneaky.
We didn’t know this….just about a mile west of our campground on San Luis Pass Road, there is a small town by the name of: “Jamaica Beach.” It must be ½ mile wide & 2.5 miles long with a post office. This was the destination that our GPS units were taking us on Monday. We toured the town a little & then sent our tax organizer & letters out via their small post office.
Wine with cheese, then dinner: leftover fried oysters, potato au gratin, grilled shrimp & scallops, & tilapia….all from Thursday’s dinner @ Casey’s restaurant.
Late movie: “My Name is Nobody” with Henry Fonda, Terence Hill, Jean Martin, Leo Gordon, etc. Western spoof with Hill as an easygoing gunman who worships aging Fonda, a gunfighter who wants to retire. Filmed in the U.S. & Spain; produced by Sergio Leone & released in Italy. 1973. This was some other kind of western. You have to see it to appreciate it.
