Well, after yesterdays disaster we were looking forward to meeting up with friends from Burlington and going to the kite festival on the beach at South Padre Island. We woke up to the sound of the furnace running, which is never good. The outside temperature was around 8C and as usual the wind was blowing.
At this stage we were wondering how to gracefully bow out of sitting on a cold wet beach watching other people fly kites. I checked the e-mails and there was one there from our friends saying it was still pi**ing down with rain on the island, and howabout we scrub the kite festival and go for supper later in the week.
When Lyn was first looking at things to do here, two of the main ones we wanted to do was the rodeo and the kite festival…. oh well, such is life.
Lyn went over to do the laundry this morning as yesterdays clothes were still soaking wet, as was the seat of the truck, much to Lyn’s disgust!
Hopefully the weather will improve a little so that we can pack up over the next couple of days in the dry.
