| LOTS OF EXOTIC BIRDS |
Tuesday Feb 26th - Moody Gardens and Joe's Crab ShackMoody gardens. The pyramidal structures house a Rainforest and an Aquarium. So much to learn about the rain forest. Thousands of different plants and birds etc. a wonderful natural exhibit. For example no pesticides are used, they just add birds and insects that are on the natural dinner chain. The aquarium was on of the best we have ever seen. The shark tank with underwater viewing passages was awesome. Watching the keepers scuba dive in to hand feed the bottom fish was amazing, but the coup de gras was watching the penguins, and their keepers scuba dive to the floor to vacuum up the penguin poop !!!!
We decide it was a night for dinner out and after seeing so many fish in the Aquarium we opted for Joe's Crabshack at the harbour. What a meal. Started with a bucket of fresh gulf shrimp, followed by fresh oysters. (6 huge fresh oysters for $6) Janice had a crab steam-pot that she is still raving about hours later and Derek had a platter with blackened red fish, shrimp wrapped in bacon and shells stuffed with crabmeat. Gulf seafood with the southern sauces is fantastic.
Finished off the evening with a nice stroll and a coffee along the Seawall Blvd.

Very windy day, a cold front came in on it's way up through Kansas to Ontario. We had a planning day and cleared off emails and booked our camp sites for the 3 day route to Tucson starting Thursday. Also booked sites for the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon for June and for Burnaby, BC site (Vancouver) ready for Evan and Kyle's wedding in August.Very windy night as the wind direction changed. We pulled the slide in to minimize the effect on the condo.
Hi Guys....wow you really do have to publish a book after this trip. Looks like you are hitting all the hot spots but finding so many interesting little places to go.I can't believe you have already been away three months. We are looking forward to your visit in May so we can catch up first hand! I have a nice bottle of Chianti chilling and Al will be cooking up a storm! Travel safe! Luv Tina
