Awake: 6:14am Temp 58 sleep 6:07 sunny overnight @ San Felipe, Texas.
K & I attend 8:30am Mass @ the Immaculate Conception Catholic church in Sealy (4 miles). By the time our Mass was over & we returned to the campground, it was too late for G & G to use our Suzuki to attend a Methodist church about 2.0 miles away. Being alert to this possibility, G & G rode their bikes to their church & were content with the extra exercise & good weather…. plus they enjoyed the people & the church very much.
Early afternoon, the (4) of us visit the town of Rosenberg (30min). 1st we tour the town by car; then visit the railroad museum, a model train layout & a private railcar of Canada which was being renovated. We were disappointed with the museum: it was advertised with hype, as was the town itself, but had little to show.
What did get our attention was the model train layout: it was truly a showpiece in disguise. We spend more time looking @ the intricate details of the layout than we did in the museum.
Another attention getter was just across the street from the railroad museum affectionately called: “Another Time.” Gary started it; he ordered this huge banana split with hot fudge, (3) giant scoops of ice cream & all of that topped with whipped cream + nuts & cherries. That has to be a sin of some kind. Then K & I shared a huge one like Gary’s & Grace had a root beer float. We all sinned a little but now we have to live with this guilt & we love it!
After that sinful treat, we exercise a little by visiting a Kroger store in Rosenberg for groceries & then top off our Suzuki tank @ the Kroger fuel pump. Thanks to Grace’s sharp eyes, she realized Kathy had accumulated over $100.00 on her Kroger card & was eligible for a 10 cent per gallon discount. Good for you Grace & good for us!
Back in our campground, dinner was canceled; none of us felt like eating. I guess we all wanted to retain that banana split-hot chocolate taste as long as we could.
Much later though, K & I did finish up our Filet & Tuna steak from the Los Cucos restaurant of last night; however, though none of the guilt went away, some of the taste did.
Late night: we watch a Nat’l Geo presentation on the Galapagos Islands; as usual on NG it was well done & the close-up photography was unparalleled. And then, the movie: “The Entertainer” with Laurence Olivier, Brenda de Banzie, Roger Livesey, Joan Plowright etc. Seedy Vaudevillian (Olivier, recreating his stage role) ruins everyone’s life & won’t catch on. 1960. British. When you get accustomed to the Queen’s English, it’s a good story.
