Day 51-Wed, 18 Feb 09-S.Padre Island

It was a beautiful day on the island and we just lounged for the most of it. I slept late this morning...Wayne actually got to wake up and close the door, make his breakfast and walk around without worrying whether he was going to wake up the 'bear'. It was nice for both of us.
He walked on the beach for an hour or so and I went in the pool. I'm so looking forward to summer and being able to do that every morning again. We decided that we would try and stay inside for a couple of hours when it's the hottest as it's just too easy to get sunburned here.
There's a wonderful flat area on the bay side of the island and it's where people go to fly kites. Kites are a big thing here--the wind is always blowing and it's almost like belonging to a club...the bigger, the better! We watched a few people with some SERIOUS kites, really colourful, and then decided we'd better visit the kit store and see what it's all about. I bought a couple of wind things for the back yard but Wayne decided he's wait before he got something. The girl in the store said he should go back to the flats and talk to one of the guys who has the type he was looking at (it's makes a jet plane kinda noise) before he decides to buy one. Apparently, Saturday morning is when all the 'flyers' gather at the flats with their kites so I guess that's what we'll do.
We sat for a bit a worked on our tans. We probably left at the right time as the back of my neck is a tad red from getting too engrossed in a book. Tomorrow I'm definitely going to find a hairdresser for a much overdue trim. Otherwise, it's read, beach, nap, whatever. One nice thing about this condo is that it has wireless internet that is really consistent. We called Kevin last night and the renovations on his house has started. Kate is going to move in with a friend for 6 weeks but Kevin says he's going to hang in and try to live in 1 room with his 46" television and take-out/microwave dinners. It will be a 4-month job so the best is yet to come.
Until next time, love and hugs to all. xx
