Man is it humid here! and then our air conditioner stopped cooling while we were visiting a dealer in Katy! The good news is we were at the dealer who had one and warranty took care of the money. They replaced it while Paul worked and we didn’t have to change our plans at all.
We were off to Crystal Beach across the bay from Galveston to meet my sister and her husband who live outside of Houston. We met them at a very quaint RV park right across the street from the beach. The location is perfect, away from the crowds and the beach is right there, unfortunately it was so windy we couldn’t really sit outside much. They have a small room that they are adding to the park and we were the only ones there basically so we had plenty of space to hang out, visit, eat and play some cards.

Any storm at all and the water will be over the road. Houses are all on stilts, some higher than others. We speculated about why some are low and some high; I’m pretty sure it has to do with wealth, the more money you have the better your ability to protect your stuff.
Its pretty humid here and the wind is blowing like crazy but the people are out and living life; some face masks some not! We had dinner out Saturday, great seafood and even grilled was an option (usually you get near the south and everything is fried). The restaurant was right on the gulf so we had a nice view for dinner at Stingaree Restaurant. The dinner was great but the atmosphere was wonderful.
Stingaree, Crystal Beach TX
These were a couple tables on the deck leading up to the restaurant; you better be ready to get your toes wet!
The beach was beautiful and they let people drive on. We walked as it was only about 50 yards away. We found a few shells, mostly broken oyster shells but its fun bending over, flipping them to see if its a good one.
Sunset was behind the road but the sky was still beautiful.
We took a ride along the beach after dinner and these guys were fishing for something with fishing line attached to plastic water bottles! The women were on the seawall waiting to cook em dinner with a 5 gal propane tank, a single burner a pot and some vegetable oil! They had a group of at least 10 so hopefully soon they catch something.
And here is my last photo of our day
Drive thru coffee! They were closed or I would have had to stop!
