I am really writing this on Wednesday as the last few places we have stayed promised hi-speed internet, but it was either down that day or broken (yeah, the check is in the mail).
First, the photos: This is what I meant about steps to nowhere. Many of them go up to empty land, but this set gos to trailers and a porta-potty.
The next photo is a Katrina cottage. They are the shelters that FEMA sent down for people to live in while they attempt to rebuild. As you can see they are quite small.
Now back to Sunday's blog. We had to laugh when we came down for the continental breakfast. The choices were mini bagels, donuts, or Hostess chocolate cupcakes - quite the choice! We packed the car and headed down to the Texas gulf coast. We were glad that it was Sunday as we drove through Houston - there was plenty of traffic for us as it was. We stopped in Rockport and found a place to have the oil changed in the car - it was needed with all the driving we have been doing. It was still too early for dinner so we found a movie theatre and asked what was playing at the time. It turned out to be "No Country for Old Men" - we do NOT recommend it - very bloody, weird, and ended badly . . . ugh, 2 thumbs down! We went to dinner at a restaurent by the water and had shrimp again (while in Rome . . . ). We then called the kids to catch up with what is happening with them. All were doing fine.
