CD, my son who lives here in Florida was at Brownsville two weeks ago at a meeting.
He had originally planned on riding his Harley there and flying back.
He said he was trying to hook up with some Christian bikers who were coming to Florida to ride his bike back for him, but I think he ended up riding it back himself.
He was amazed at the nice beaches you have in that area. He said he drove through Beaumont where he had started 1st grade in 1962 before we moved to Jasper. I had forgotten he had gone to school there for a short time. (((((Small world))))))

The beaches are very nice but I think the white sands and clear water on Floridas gulf side prettier. My problem with South Padre Island is that the city let the hotels and richo condo owners build on the ocean and port side. You could drive thru and never see the ocean. It's a lot of tourist stuff. When we go out there we drive thru the city to outside limits. I like the way Corpus and Galveston set up. Most of the buildings and homes on the west side. You can drive by the ocean and have easy access to the beaches.
