April 1- Shopping and steak
We were supposed to leave today, but we have delayed until Monday, so we
spent today lounging around, laundry, shopping. Were going to go to the
Castroville Café again for our last dinner there, but decided we could eat just
as well, cheaper, and happily with a good steak on the BBQ and some Kale
sautéed with Bacon.. so that’s just what we did .. a shopping trip to Hondo for
supplies and we were all set…. Had a great evening, chatting and feasting. We do spend much of our chatting time
talking about our travels and the road we have taken since retirement and we
are very very happy with our choices. If we owned a house, we could never have
done what we did. So it got us out of our house of 35 years... which was one
good thing and it enabled us to have the adventure of a lifetime for at least 2
full years. While we cannot stop the ravages of time on our bodies, we have at
least been able to fulfill life-long dreams of spontaneous travel and complete
freedom, and managed to act like we feel!! “Bring it on” was how we approached
our post retirement adventure!!
Anyway… steak was great, fried onions and kale with bacon… all yummy.
Sat April 2 – Castroville Market
We knew the market was on in town, so we headed out early to go to our
favourite coffee shop “Octane” for a Latte... then wandered round the vendors
... much smaller than we expected, but fun. We also managed to get into the
gourmet store in town ‘Taste Elevations’, that we have been meaning to try.
They had several items out for tasting, so we indulged ourselves a little and
bought a couple of interesting items, some fresh bread and (believe it or not
in the middle of Texas) some Shropshire blue cheese for later. We went back to
the rig and enjoyed some Armadillo Eggs (look it up - Texas treat) with potatoes and kale again with our
fresh bread and a nice wine… lovely. Great day
Sun April 3 - Golf and final pack
Okay, so Thursday was supposed to be our last golf day, but what are we
supposed to do? Lovely sunny day, packing mostly done and cheap rounds
available of ‘Golfnow’ website… so off we went… great round and feeling very
lucky to be out enjoying our last day at this great RV/Golf resort.. we would
definitely come back to this one!!! After golf we finished getting ready for
our departure tomorrow.. snacks/lunch made, stabilizers stowed and alarm set
for 6:15am.. LONG drive to Baton Rouge Louisiana tomorrow.
