PORT ISABEL LIGHTHOUSE

And, YES - we climbed it ! Much narrower than
the Marblehead lighthouse too !! Open grated steps with only a handrail on one side and part of the assent/ desent was by ladder. But we made it.
Our unsecured wifi connection that we found on the beginning of our stay at the island was lost on Saturday so we went thru wifi withdrawel for the rest of our stay.
Our bikes now have 50 more miles on them, however, we found that riding to "town" on them was much easier than riding back home because the wind was ALWAYS in our face and much stronger on our way back to the campground.
We learned to go to MacDonald's for ice cream after sunset , when the winds settled down a bit.
We have moved back off the island to a RV resort in Harlingen Texas. H thought the wifi was free here and it's not so we are doing the "ole" dial up connection at the library in ONE of the three activities buildings . I will add more soon, but it takes a long time to blog on a dial up.
