Port Isabel

We drove out to Port Isabel on Hwy 100 on the tip of the Texas Gulf Coast to see the historic Port Isabel Lighthouse. It enjoys a prominent position at the base of the Queen Isabella Bridge. We gazed at the lighthouse, laughing as children rolled down the grassy hill on which it stood. A gentleman in the gift shop suggested that we visit South Padre Island just across the Queen Isabella Bridge. We also scouted out a beautiful RV Resort, where we discovered an abandoned Airstream seemingly awaiting to board the next ship. The park office staff said the owner had purchased the Airstream and planned to restore it. However, it has been neglected for the past several years, and the inside is gutted. If you are interested in a long term project, you might get this one for a bargain price.
