When we picked up Karen at the airport in Harlingen, we learned
that there is a Marine Military Academy located there. As with all Texan’s,
folks from Harlingen have a very strong respect for the military. Their respect
and pride has expressed itself in a full-size replica of the Iwo Jima Monument
in Arlington Virginia.
We learned that not only is Clayton’s the largest beach bar
in Texas, and not only can you witness a hundred people plunge into the 60-degree
waters of the Gulf in the midst of gale force winds with air temperatures of 41
degrees, you can also see an all-out crab fight. As far as we could tell, the
yellow guy was pretty much going to pull a claw off the orange guy.
Looking out the windshield of Colectiva we saw this
gathering of what had to be more than 50 White Ibis. White Ibis have a
distinctive curved orange beak, look to be pure white when on the ground, but
have a crisp black stripe on the edge of their wings when they fly. Impressive.
Talk to you soon!
