Day 3

Forgot to add a quick post about Sunday. Didn't do much except clean and pack and of course, we all took showers. Don't remember who, but someone mentioned 'this house sure doesn't have much hot water.' Then everyone else started saying - 'hey - I had a cold shower/bath too.' We had all figured that the person before them had just used the last of the hot water.

As we were going over the "Things to do when you leave" list, we read through the "Things to do when you get here" list. Apparently in our excitement we had failed to notice item #3 "Turn on the breaker for the hot water heater".

Ate lunch at Baytown Seafood Restaurant in Palacios. It's kind of a Vietnamese/Seafood restaurant. Not fusion cuisine or anything chic like that - it's eggrolls and fried catfish. The eggrolls were really really good - I've never had a homemade one before.

And to give you an idea of where Palacios is:



And some information about how the town got its name: The bay was named after Jose Felix Trespalacios, Mexican governor of the area when Stephen F. Austin established his colony back in the 1800s. Eventually the town became known as Palacios and the pronunciation was Americanized to” Puh-LASH-uhs” rather than the proper Spanish Pa-las-ee-ohs.
