It was an overcast day again with showers in the area but didn’t rain here at the campground. We spent the morning planning a grocery list for when we go into Big Bend. There are no Walmart stores and what groceries are available, are expensive in comparison. It took a lot of thought and planning – especially since we do not have a refrigerator currently, but we got through it and had a cartful when we were finished.
Justice stayed at the camper when we went to the store and doesn’t seem to mind at all. Airstreams have fantastic fans in the ceiling, and they really cool down the camper when you open the windows and have the awning out. They will keep up with outside temperatures in the 70s and possibly 80s, especially if the humidity is low but above that, we need to turn on the a/c. We got a new a/c when the Airstream was at Jackson Center, and it works well but only have used it once so far on the trip. I think Justice prefers the fresh air over the a/c, I know I do.
We went for a short walk towards evening and ran into a neighbor who was walking her dog ‘Maggie May’. She was a rescue dog who was found abandoned on the River Walk and our neighbor worked with a local Humane Society to first foster her, then adopt her. She is a little sweetheart – Justice will give her a quick sniff but that’s about it. Somehow in our conversation, our neighbor suggested a local brewed beer we should try. Pecan Porter is brewed by the 512 Brewery Company, located in Austin, Texas. It is brewed with organic pecans grown here in Texas.
As soon as we got back to the camper, we were off to a local market where she said we can find it. First taste, Ron said it reminded him of Guiness Beer, it’s a stout beer with a nutty taste. He said it may be an acquired taste but by the 3rd beer – I think he acquired the taste.
