I'm Getting too OLD for This?


Port Isabel Light House
I just wanted to take some pictures from the Top!
3/4 the way up glad they have a platform to stop and let people come down! Not enough room for 2 after this! Plus you will not look like a wimp if you are waiting for some one to come down. Was I lucky there were 5 coming down. I was wondering how they would get me down if I did not make it?
If you enlarge this picture you will see there is only enough room for my foot side ways. Going back down I went backwards.
Now the fun begins wood ladder with metal rails to hold on to at the side of it. Can not believe they did not have a width size warning at the bottom before you entered the light house ?

OK so they have one more to the light and glass top. To hot in there so I just went out side to the railing where I took a few pictures.
Pirate's Landing - pirate ship is setting sail to go under the causeway for a bay cruise.
This is a 2 mile causeway from Port Isabel to Padre Island, that you see in the distance.
They call it the Shaving Brush Tree

This is the Bloom and the pod looks like a peeled Banana Skin!
No one here knew the real name of it.

An 87 year old man that had lived at this trailer here in the park had planted it, the top half of the tree is gone due to Hurricane Dolly
