Today was our last day in Gilchrist. We took the ferry to Galveston again, just for something to do, and had lunch at the Cajun Greek Restaurant. It was entirely forgettable except for the company. At the table next to us a couple were finishing lunch, and I just had to ask what they were having. They had hoped for BBQ crabs but ended up getting deep-fried crabs, which they shared with us while we were deciding what to order. Neither their deep-fried crabs nor our Po-boys made the “we must have this again” list, but we enjoyed talking with Deanna and Steve. They introduced us to the LNT.org website ("Leave No Trace"), and we are going to investigate that more. They are not full-timers but we pass through Texas often, so maybe we can keep in touch.
On the way back to Gilchrist we were parked at the front of the ferry and got a great view of how they dock it. I am always amazed at what a smooth ride that is. Later Randy fixed lasagna, Chris made salad, and we shared some of Aunt Jean's famous nut tart. It's been so great to spend this week with Lonnie and Chris. Now it's time for us to continue eastward towards South Carolina, with just a few more stops along the way.
