On Sunday, we traveled to South Padre Island, Texas, for the 11th Annual SPI Kite Fest, with our friends Jim (Chico) and Jacki Garvis. It was a beautiful day on the beach with kite demos and shows and many beautiful single line kites fill the sky throughout the day.
After enjoying the kites, we decided we were starving and headed to Pier 19.
These Brown Pelican greeted us as we entered.

After dinner, we drove through Isla Banca Park and came across this memorial titled "El Cristo de los Pescadores" which means "Christ of the Fishermen." This maritime statue depicts Jesus blessing fishermen who have been lost at sea. Plaques on its base memorialize some of these departed souls, ad families still bring flowers and notes here for them.
We ended the evening enjoying the sunset at the Isla Banca Park. What a great day:)
