| Our route - A to F - DONE... next stages F to J Mar - Aug (with 6wks in UK Apr/May) |
What a fabulous day. Woke up to rain and wind … lots of
both. After brekky we headed out (troopers that we are) and drove to the far
end of the island. We were amazed at the variety of buildings, and the way they
are built in case of flood or hurricane. Now, the question is this… in a
hurricane one would think to hunker down in the basement, but in a flood one
would think to climb to the top floor and wait it out. What do we do in a
hurricane with flooding????? Just asking!!!!!
Anyway… below are number of very interesting homes we saw
along the way today. We had lunch at Nates Seafood in Jamaica Beach and had
Gumbo… (Shrimp, sausage and chicken in a deep brown broth … fabulous!!) Stopped
at ‘Wallymart’ on the way back to the ‘condo’ and bought some supplies for the
cruise on Saturday. We won’t have internet on the cruise (just because it costs
too much and takes up valuable cruise time) … so we will not be updating the
blog from Friday 8th until we return on the 16th. We are
on the Crown Princess out of Galveston and stopping in Roatan Honduras, Belize
and Cozumel. Really looking forward to the break (that was a joke by the
way)!!!
Glad to get back to the 'condo' and have baked chicken dinner with Kale and Sweet Potato.... healthy and yummy!! Evening updating blog and catching up on email etc.
THE FOLLOWING ARE HOMES WE SAW ALONG THE WAY TODAY... 95% are built on stilts with solid support from their garage if they have one. Some very funky looking homes.

By the way... people here really do say "hi y'all" as you pass them on the street with a smile. Just saying... it sounds kinda normal!!!
