We have not been all that impressed with the winter weather
on South Padre Island. December was really cold, even snowed at times, but at
least there were gorgeous sunsets every few days. January was not quite as
cold, but it was dreary, cloudy and rainy all the time. And, I don’t think we
saw a decent sunset in the entire month of January!
Well, the weather has been warmer in February, and some nice
sunsets have returned. However, with the improving weather comes the increasing
crowds. There is only one street, Padre Island Boulevard, to get you out into
the fray of the Island. At its bottleneck it is only a 4-lane undivided city
street. And with the increase in the visitor population, its like rush hour in
LA (slight exaggeration).
However, the population on the Island, even with the
increasing crowds, is a small fraction of what it will be in about 3 weeks.
Despite the obvious attraction for me, the Woman’s aversion guarantees we won’t
be here in the middle of March. That is when a plethora of college kids descend
on the Island for the sacred ritual known as Spring Break. Dang, I would totally
check it out!
Talk to you soon!
