We left the beach at Port Aransas on Tuesday without ever seeing the sun. The photo of Marianne was taken on our morning walk, the first day that it was warm enough to walk comfortably. Of course, since we were leaving, the forecast was for improving weather.
We decided to take the coastal road towards Houston rather than the main highway. It was a bit slow, but very scenic.
We arrived at Brazos Bend State Park in the late afternoon. It is really out in the country, four miles from the nearest farm road. It is very quiet out here, until the sun goes down and we are serenaded by frogs. The park and campground are almost empty. It is very green, with Spanish moss on the trees. We are here because it was rated as one of the top 100 parks in the country, and we can see why.
I went into Houston to see my nephew Ryan, who I had not seen in several years. I found out on the drive in how far we are out in the country, about 50 miles one way. Ryan is twenty-five years old, and grown up. We had a nice conversation over a good dinner. His career focus is telling jokes in comedy clubs, and he is waiting tables to help pay the bills.
