Tuesday we had a group of 46 from the Park travel to Brownsville for a boat trip to see the ships being taken apart. What an interesting trip! I took a few pictures from a distance, as we were told not to take pictures of the restricted areas. (aftermath of 911)
The ships and oil / gas rigs are so big, I just got a picture in the distance, but you should get the idea of it....there were piles and piles of metal scraps from the ships. Quite a business of tearing apart and selling the scrap. The metal is loaded and sent to China, they own the yards anyway. We saw big shrimp ponds, quite a profitable venture. The problem is that only immigrants are allowed by our government to own them! Guess the government figures that will give them a head start when they come here.....
This blogs sole purpose has transitioned to one of keeping in touch with each other. Over the years it has been primarily for letting everyone know what is happening and also for promotion to add more folks to our Winter Texan family. The core of things has changed and we must change along with it. We still want to know what is happening with our friends no matter where they may be located. So continue to let us know where you are and what is on your plate.
