Is there sun in Texas?

We have been here in Sinton TX since Wednesday and have not seen the sun yet. As a matter of fact, we have had so much rain here that when we got up this morning all the RVs parked here look like we are sitting on islands amidst a lake. Everything is underwater. If the forecast holds up - we are supposed to see the sun FINALLY this afternoon - and then sunny skies and in the low 70's from then on. I made reservations for a boat ride to see birds (Whooping Crane is the major) for today but moved it to Tuesday where the forecast is much better. Tomorrow we are heading into Port Aransas on the Gulf to walk a birding trail there, it's renowned for sighting the endangered Whooping Crane and hundreds of other birds and animals. And the weather is supposed to be SUNNY AND WARM!


Friday we went into Rockport to the Texas Maritime Museum. Was nice, although we are becoming a bit of snobs - we have seen a number of these types of museum and some are outstanding and some are okay (our perspective). This was a great attempt at their history - and we were not happy - couldn't take flash photography. From there we road around alittle bit to get a flavor of the land and water, then headed home. We continually drive past windfarms and are amazed each time we go past these giants. We stopped and I rolled down the window to listen and you can hear the whoosh of the blades going around. Yesterday, we had to head into Corpus Christie to get Chip and Grace food. From there we road along the Gulf coast into downtown and looked at the sights. We have been on the USS Lexington before and chose not to go back and do that tour. Dave didn't remember much about Corpus Christie - I remembered specifically the carrier and also walking along the beach downtown and looking at boats in the marina. Dave says - too many people! The roads and highways are jammed packed! And then, last night we had to get our fix of Mexican food again - so we were told of a little place right here in town - and it was amazing! Some people like Chinese food, others like steak while others like chain restaurants - we love Mexican!
