Next Stop

Staying by the bay

Our next stop was by the Marina in Palacios, TX. We were able to watch the fishing boats come and go, they also have a company that was building barges. We could see the welders  and cranes working on the barges. From what I've read, they make one barge a month.
Building Barges
Palacios is the shrimping capital of Texas. So, of course we had to try it out. We found a local restaurant and I had the catfish with shrimp and Vel had the Coconut Shrimp. Mine was very good and Vel's was excellent! The best coconut shrimp I've ever had! Very reasonably priced, too.
Another beautiful sunset

Coming back in

Good Food!

Yum

Double yum

Docks
We found a couple of geocaches, while we were there. They also have a very nice seawall park, that was fun to drive through. It was kind of a quiet little town.-Later M
