   Part 4   

Governor's Landing Bridges

► These bridges, one for cars and truck, and the other for trains, were both impressive in their own ways.
► Lake Amistad is on the Rio Grande, and I made a wrong turn when I left the area from where I was flying my drone, wasn't paying enough attention, and I almost drove into Mexico, as the road I turned on crosses the dam into Mexico!

Padre Island - Beach Access Rd 5

► Stopped at Padre Island to have dinner at the Captain's Diner,

and afterwards we drove down to the beach on Access Road 5.

Fulton Beach

   Part 6   

Fulton Beach at Rockport, TX

► Drove a ways to our hotel and had a little time just before sunset to go to another beach. The sun was setting behind us, so we can only see a little (very little) of the color, but it was still nice.
