There is not going to be much commentary here … mostly pictures. We spent the month of October 2019 at South Padre Island, Texas. For the most part we had wonderful weather and there are so few people here – this might actually be my new favorite beach time. I saw a couple of new things (even though I’ve been coming down here since 1976) …. we saw spoonbills, a pair of osprey were frequent daily visitors, I witnessed one of the most intense lightning storms of my life – it lasted at least 4 hours and there was lighting/thunder every 3 seconds, we lost power for 12 hours, 31 power poles were blown over on the main boulevard, and most of the pool chairs ended up in the pool or disappeared entirely (a tornado warning accompanied the storm but there was never a tornado just straight line winds). Sienna joined us for Fall break and Granny came down for 11 days. The majority of these pictures are taken at sunrise. I just love the cloud formations here. That’s about it for the commentary … hope you enjoy the pictures.
We stayed in Ocean Vista room 902 and rented through PIRentals
