Day Twenty Eight: Remember, Remember the Fifth of November.. 05/11/08


Remember, remember the fifth of November.. Not because of Guy Fawkes, but because it's Aidan's birthday!!! We're still parked up in Houston and we haven't moved the RV or indeed hardly left the park for the last 2 days. Once again I don't have too much to write about. We just spend another day relaxing. For that reason we haven't seen much of a reaction to the election result yet. There was a few other residence in the RV park who, up until yesterday had McCain/Palin signs proudly posted outside their motor homes.. Today however, as you can imagine most have them have been begrudgingly removed. We celebrated Aidan's birthday with a couple of drinks in the RV, and after a few we went for a walk over by the lake. Aidan brought my fishing rod with him... He brought my rod because he broke his own in Virginia, he broke Ronan's in North Carolina... and yup, my rod met with the 'Aidan destruction factor' down here in good old Texas!!! Thankfully Brian didn't buy one for him to get his hands on. Happy Birthday Aidan!!! We're hitting the road again tomorrow, but we're not going too far. After an hour or so on the road we'll arrive in a place called Galveston Island, which is at the very southern tip of Texas on The Gulf of Mexico. Apparently there's not too much of Galveston left after Hurricane Ike ripped through there only 6 weeks ago. There is only one surviving RV park so hopefully we'll find a space there and park up for a couple of days. I'm sure we'll make the most of what the beach and the continuing good weather has to offer.
