Sea Wolf Park

Close quarters!!!

The USS Cavalla in Sea Wolf Park

Went to Sea Wolf Park out on Pelican Island today. Cold and windy. At least the sun finally came out. I think the temp was in the 50's but it felt like 30's. The park itself is just that - a park on a windy point. However, berthed there are two WWII ships: a submarine, the USS Cavalla and a destroyer, the USS Stewart. The Cavalla is the only remaining ship from the WWII era that is credited with sinking an air craft carrier. The Stewart served in the Atlantic escorting convoys to Europe. I have a whole new respect for submariners - pretty tight quarters. You'd have to really LIKE your fellow ship mates to serve on those

Ate once again at a fish restaurant. We've had Mexican twice since stopping here in the Houston/Galveston area and fish twice. However, I had a hamburger. Larry had the $22 seafood platter. I did eat one of his shrimp kisses - a shrimp, stuffed with jalapeno cheese and wrapped in bacon and fried. Really good and I'm sure low in cholesterol. We went to Wal-Mart to get a CD made of my photos. While we were waiting, we walked the sea wall. Again, Cold and Windy. They were surfing on the little waves while we were there. Lots of families on the shores.

We stopped at Lowe's and I bought a 4" pot of pansies for the front of the camper and Larry bought a landscaping light for the flag pole complete with light sensor.
