March 6. 2011 Port Isabel and South Padre
We went to Port Isabel for Lunch at Dirty Al's. Then ventured over the long bridge to South Padre. We didn't stay on the island very long because the Spring breaks were just starting...and the college folks were "invading" the territory.
The two of us took another trip over later in the week...and did
some beach walking...and of course to follow our tradition, had to have our picture taken with our feet in the water (the Gulf) at South Padre.

Our Lunch was with Betty and Phil Paterek (friends from Arkansas), and Ruth and Merv (from Canada)...we were all parked in the same area of the RV park...only 40 minutes to Port Isabel from La Feria TX.
The fare was Shrimp and French fries. We ordered the platter for the 6 of us to share...and would you believe we polished off two platters? Oh my, it was good.

We, of course, stopped at Dirty Al's to share a plate of shrimp for lunch, and bought some fresh shrimp for us to take back to the RV. Couldn't pass up another opportunity to have really large shrimp prepared "perfectly."
The waves were full of energy...the red flags at all of the beaches warned of possible danger.
The parasailing activities had already begun.
I know that we will re-visit Dirty Al's the next time we get close to Port Isabel and South Padre.
