We stayed at LaPlaya in a very nice condo that had a balcony over looking theLaPlaya.JPG (46518 bytes) beach.  I very much enjoyed the stay there.  This is the outside view of our room.   I'll add moreMom at pool.JPG (30001 bytes) pictures of the inside later.  They also had a very nice swimming pool we made use of.

We went deep sea fishing on the Osprey.  We all got sea sick along with pretty much N,M& T.JPG (53962 bytes)most of the people with us.  The seas were pretty rough that day. boat at sea.JPG (20939 bytes) Here are my best friend Nancy, my mom and a friend Teleta who went with us.   This is a picture I took of a shrimp boat coming home as we were going out.  I was doing great and then they stopped the boat.  Big mistake.

Of course we also spent time on the beach.  We got up every morning early and walked along the beach before breakfast.  We fed the gulls frequently.  We also got a boogie board and played in the ocean.

Being women on vacation we had to go shopping.  We came home with quite a few things.  One of my favorite shops there is Henderson.JPG (40973 bytes)The Texas Cat House.  Here is a picture of their resident cat Henderson.  As always I find the unique shops dedicated to one of my favorite animals, the cat.  RaysBBQ.JPG (63050 bytes)We also ate at a great many fantastic eateries.  Both on the island and on the mainland.  One place Ray's Bar-B-Q is in San Benito where I was born.  It is family owned and operated.  It was there when I was a child living there.  We eat there every time we go down that direction.  There are lots of things to see such at the Wyland walls of the convention center where there is also a large sand castle built by Sand Castle Central and Sea Turtle Inc.
