Today will be final day of this trip. Staying on South Padre Island. After my breakfast today. I set out for a long walk. Something I have not done, since my last day of work. Before I left for this trip, on February 5th.
I walked along Gardenia Blvd. To the beach which is a really short walk. I then walked south on the beach heading south, almost to the end of the beach. I then walked back up to Padre Bvld., to walk back to my Hotel, the Ramada. I stopped into a "Stripes" connivance store, and enjoyed a badly needed beverage.
I then started walking northward on Padre Blvd, and then stopped into "Whataburger" to have lunch. I enjoyed a cheap lunch today at "Whataburger" as I received a free hamburger. I achieved that for filling out an online survey for "Whataburger". To say thanks for filling out the survey. They issued me a free hamburger. All I had to pay for was; a large drink, and large French fries. I wish all companies were that friendly.
The weather at this point had turned to rain. So I decided this was a perfect opportunity to wash my dirty laundry. There is a small laundromat located here at the Ramada Hotel. I just relaxed in my hotel room for the rest of the afternoon. Sad news today in Texas. A madman few a small airplane into an Austin office building. Luckily there were very few fatalities.
Dinner was a very positive experience tonight. I went for my favorite Oriental cuisine. The restaurant was called "Uchi". (Please check out my "Good Texas Eats" post for more details). As soon as I walked into "Uchi" I was greeted by a delightful young lady named Brie. It did not take long for Brie and I to become friends. Lucky for me. I was the only customer, and had the chance to enjoy some great conversation with Brie. My meal tonight at "Uchi" was excellent. Meeting Brie was special!!!
