Market Days at Padre Island

We went to Padre Island today. It sure was a hazy day. We thought forsure it would clear off and the sun would shine but it was not to be. going over the Causeway it was quite foggy

Last night the weatherman said there was zero visibility, but today was better.We went to Market Days at the South Padre Island Convention Center.
There sure were lots of tables of hand crafted items and many tables of folks selling jewelry and Island souveniers etc. One gentleman was selling his hand crafted mahogany items, ww 1 airplane replicas , cars, guitars,  etc. really nice. Lots of demonstrations of products, new pots and pans, food choppers, spices, places that offered samples of their dips, jellies etc. it was neat. Outside of the Convention Center some one had poured cracked corn on the ground, the Seagulls acted like they were starving!!

We were going to eat on the Island,  but so many people at noon at the main restaurants so we headed over to a place we know has great seafood and shrimp, it was called the Lost Galleon  in Port Isabelle. It now has changed to Rincon Vericruzano, located on your right about 3 blocks this side of the causeway on the corner, they said they still have the same cook, and still serve all you can eat shrimp or fish. but there are lots more choices on the new menu below. the only thing bad about the Restaurant is , it is quite small and would be hard to seat any big groups of people.

My shrimp was very good, Senior Platter

Our place to buy frozen shrimp, Twin City Shrimp Co.  901 South Shore Dr. was closed , Sat. and Sun .Open only Mon. thru Fri. they have individually frozen shrimp in bulk packages. I f you like shrimp they have several different sizes, we turn right at the Dairy Queen in Port Isabel, follow the road around on the right past a school.
