Well, since we couldn't go see Elvis we drove around Port Aransas yesterday and Sparkle found a shrimp boat selling fresh shrimp on the wharf. I'm not a great seafood lover but have to say Sparkle did a bangup job of cooking them. The weather has finally cleared and the sun was out.
Here's my rig on the ferry. If anyone two years ago had told me I'd be taking my rig on a ferry, I would have told them they were crazy. I had almost the entire side of the ferry.
The pelicans are so tame you can almost walk right up to them. Apparently they hang around the fishermen waiting for them to throw scraps to them.
Here we all are standing in line to buy fresh shrimp. The boat had just come in when we got there.
Here's the woman weighing the shrimp. $4.00 a pound - better than the market.
Here are Carole and Sparkle cleaning the shrimp - yuck!! I DON'T CLEAN FISH!!
