To the Shore!

We moved from Lake Corpus Christi yesterday and now our home is Bayview RV Park in Rockport-Fulton, Texas. It is about 35 miles up the coast from Corpus Christi, on Aransas Bay. Both of us love being near the shore, so this is a nice change.
We spent yesterday afternoon and today wandering around the area. Yesterday was very sunny and warm (about 85 degrees) but today we encountered coastal fog for the majority of the day. Wonderful ocean breezes kept us comfortable.
Gulf shrimp are plentiful (wonder why??) and we stopped at a local seafood market and picked some up for later. The markets have a variety of fish also and we look forward to trying them out.
Our campground is less than mile from the shore. We came across this group of pelicans near there.
Although we seen more than our share of brown and white pelicans, this is the only place we came across where so many of them congregated. A few of them perched on the pilings and a another group swam up to us when we stopped. I'm sure they were expecting a handout! Up close, their bills look like they could do some serious damage. The are pretty large birds with wing spans of 5 feet or more. They were fun to watch.
Tomorrow we are taking a boat tour to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge so hopefully we will have more photos and stores to tell then.
