Day 91 - April 8th - Last Resort RV Park - Rockport, TX

Well today is kind of, "Get off the Pot" day as tomorrow we are on the long road Northward. Start packing all of our stuff away. Amazing how much we have got out, after staying in one place for a month. Worked all morning sorting and storing. Relieved, when John and Brenda ask us to accompany them to Corpus for lunch. We went to the Olive Garden across town and we all had soup and salad. All you can eat for $6.99 each. It was great! On the way in, just before crossing the big bridge, John motioned to Denice, that a large flock of Spoonbills were on a sandy beach beside the highway, but hidden from her view. These were the only seabirds she has been unable to photograph. As we were on a 6 lane highway bridge, we could not stop, although yesterday she stopped 4 lanes for a turtle. A great photo op missed!!

--- John, Denice wants to add, "I don't really believe there was any spoonbills there anyway!! Were you just pulling my Chain"?

After lunch returned to Rockport and ELTORO. Washed the Jeep as it was covered with pollen from the oaks. The first 2 weeks here, it was falling leaves, as I guess the oaks shed their leaves here, once in the spring and again in the fall, and then the last 2 weeks it has been falling pollen. Then put all of the remaining paraphernalia away. We had already decided to go out again for dinner with John and Brenda, to "China A's" buffet again, as we really enjoyed it when we went a couple of days ago. You can't beat it for 10 Bucks. This to be a kind of "Farewell" dinner, as it may be sometime before we see them again. Certainly not until we are all back in Canada. Then you know how it is, we are 50 miles apart, and will start to live our other lives again until our next big tour.
However , we did have a great buffet again! So much to choose from - just one of each dish - my plate runneth over - my stomach is in agony - time to rest.
Before retuning home Denice and I take one last tour along the beach to try to get some Ocean Sunset Photos. The Gods were with us and cooperated well. Nice clouds, nice sunset, even dolphins frollicking in the bay. A great way to end a great month in Rockport, Texas.
