Hi All,
Our next driving day brought us to Port Arthur, TX southeast of Houston. This is the location of the first big oil strike in 1901, the first big refinery and support for the offshore oil fields. We are still in TX but we can see Louisiana from here.
We did some birding along the coast; nice to see ibis, terns and brown pelicans.
After our LBJ email, we heard from Carrol & Marilyn Johnston, friends from Oregon who were on their way back from Mardi Gras. The timing was perfect and we met them for dinner!
If you are ever in this area, check out Larry's Market & Cajun Restaurant.
In the daylight, the oil facilities are pretty ugly but at night this refinery looked neat
Tomorrow we are on to Biloxi.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
