Padre Island and the national park was anticipated to be the highlight of our exploration.  The island was flat and featureless, and the national park underdeveloped.

We ventured across the causeway to South Padre Island  and drove down the beach several miles where the Rio Grand River entered the ocean.  It was so shallow that you could wade across to or from Mexico.

The beach of the National Park was hard packed, and RV's could camp on it.  With a 4-wheel drive, one can drive 50+ miles south down the beach.

There is always a highlight... even to featureless.  We each had a pound of the world's best boiled shrimp straight out of the Gulf at this restaurant.

And thus... we packed our memories, and on Friday morning about 8:00 we pointed the RV east and north... and headed home.
