| South Padre Island February 1 - 3, 2013 | |
| In early February, I was blessed to be able to
      spend a weekend with Dan & Rose Casazza at their place near South
      Padre Island.  This trip came at a very sad time in my life.  A
      getaway like this was exactly what I needed.  We had a great time
      visiting, reading, eating, and eating.   Never a hungry
      moment!  J | |
|  | Our first evening together on Friday night | 
|  |  | 
| Casa de Casazza | Watching the sun break through early Saturday morning | 
|  |  | 
| They took me to the beach so I could walk and walk - it was great | Dan and Rose, waiting patiently for me to walk myself out | 
|  |  | 
| Dan, waiting VERY patiently. | Next we took a drive around the island and discovered this amazing kite festival. | 
|  |  | 
| Time for lunch - these guys hang out near the restaurant | The restaurant is built on a pier so there isn't a bad seat in the house. I took these two shots from the end of the pier when Dan & I walked out there after lunch. |

| Another end-of-the-pier shot. | Rose, looking pretty while she waits for us to return | 
|  |  | 
| Another evening walk included the Port Isabel lighthouse | Also the fishing pier, it was a very nice evening.  We had great
  weather all weekend. It was a very good trip! |
