Norene finds Wedding Rings and we scram for the Beach

Forgot to mention Norene found a ring set sitting on a stump at the street as we toured the Historical District. She ended up talking with a neighbour who said the owner is a newlywed and must have taken them off when gardening – she agreed to hold them for the forgetful (probably panicked) bride. Norene got a big gold star today.

 
The beach is pretty commercial but it still has appeal. Misty but still got in a few shots. After an hour of walking we decided to hit the ferry back to Bolivar.

Amusement Park on the Pier seemed deserted today

Just a few steps back honey...
Wide sidewalks & street. Beach area is ready for heavy vehicular
and pedestrian traffic.
I'd like to see this kind of enthusiasm in Ontario
Bolivar Peninsula is flat like plywood – I took a few shots of this well cared for rv park but it’s hard to coax topographical interest out of flat.

Lake. Pretty. Flat.

Us and office behind. More flat.

View of event shelter. Still flat but it's a warm flat.
Time to head out to Magnolia Beach. Whole crew (Smiley is hiding) gets a ride on the Bolivar to Galveston ferry.
 
Yes – that ladder really is very close to our windshield. I'm inside reading our insurance policy.
On the way out of town we stopped at Kroeger’s to feed the moho (still nameless). $2.969 per US gallon. For those who think metric that’s about 82 cents a litre. What’s not to love about Texas?
