Another Day in Paradise

As we woke this morning, we knew it would be another beautiful day. The wind is still blowing. I'm sure it blows continually, some days stronger than others. You can see the Gulf of Mexico from our 5th wheel windows. We are in a spot called Magnolia Beach. Further up the road is Port Lavaca. The clouds are drifting in and later it will rain. There is not much to do here, actually there is nothing to do. We are here in a work camping position. There are no clear jobs to do so it is mostly just cleaning yards and odd jobs.
This is one of the areas that was effected by hurricane Ike. The wind did not do alot of damage but the storm surge ruined so much. There was 2-3 foot of salt water over everything. That means all the grass, tropical plants, and palm trees. Salt water killed almost all vegetation around. David and I are helping to clean up in exchange for our RV site.
More later on our trip here....it's always something.
