Nick Rivas: water

These past few days I was really busy with school stuff...that's why I didn't blog as often...but I'm back now with some stuff to tell! haha

However, yesterday we went somewhere near Raymondville to the bay in an area called Port Mansfield. I had never been here, but it was a good experience! It was kind of far, about 2 hours away. It was so unexpected, we didn't plan it. My aunt just called us and told us that we should go fishing with her family. Well we followed them and realized we were going somewhere further away from the canals my uncle usually goes fishing to. It was a nice trip over there, I was able to take some pictures of random old building, and of course I took pictures of the water and all that when we arrived. We passed through a whole area of wind turbines those things are huge! I never knew they were that big! It was a pretty cool sight. When we got there we saw a bunch of deer everywhere! It was weird cause we were just there passing by them and they weren't afraid or anything, this was in town where the environment was surrounded by houses and everything. They were just there and I guess they were very common to people in the area, like cats and dogs lol.

There was no one by the bay, probably cause it was kind of windy and cold haha. We walked around and I went up this little cliff/hill and I had an amazing view up there. The water wasn't too clean though, but then again we were in the bay. We could see a light blinking a few miles off the shore, which was from South Padre Island, the bay was between Texas and the Island. Then of course, when you got to the island you could see the beach (Gulf of Mexico) on the other side.

We saw a dock not too far from there and my aunt and I decided to go see if we could go take some pictures there. We walked by the shore and on the way there was saw a huge crab running away from us! Haha it was kind of funny. After about 10 minutes of walking we got there. The dock was attached to this beach house or something like that. There was no one there so we just climbed to the dock and took some pictures. After a few minutes my mom and cousins came to take pictures too.

When we got back to where the cars were it was getting dark, but we still stayed. My uncle got some fish. For the record, I like fishing but I don't like eating fish haha.

Soon after that it was pitched black so we decided to go home, it was a nice trip back also. It seemed faster haha.

Today was an ok day. I only went out to church with my mom and brothers, I hope tomorrow is a good day at school. Finals weeks starts!

Here are some pics from the trip
