Gonzales to Houston

Back at the St. James Inn in Gonzales again, and it feels like the adventure is coming to a close. I have driven these roads before. But, there is a cruise to Cozumel on the agenda this week! My best friend Melissa had scheduled the cruise with her boyfriend a few months ago, but he is now an ex-boyfriend (by her choice) so I lucked out and get to go on the cruise with her. Good thing I decided to pack my passport at the last minute, just in case.

There was absolutely nothing in west Texas from Lubbock to Gonzales, a whole lot of flatness and some cows. When I arrived in Gonzales I was in desperate need of a shower. I hadn’t showered since the Grand Canyon so I had accumulated a fair amount of road grime. After a nice hot shower I felt like a new woman and we went out to dinner at Acapulco. I ordered catfish ceviche, Aunt Ann got the grilled catfish, and Uncle Rew had the spicy camerones (shrimp). It was all delicious and there was so much that we had enough leftovers for all of us for lunch. We toured the Palmetto state park and had DQ treats for dessert at Gonzales’ waterfall.

I’m looking forward to lounging on the deck, warm in the sun with water all around!

The lady bug that ran across the front of my sunglasses and scared me half to death.
