Dec 3rd

Drove into South Padre Island, this Island is approx. 38 miles long and just 30 miles from Brownsville which is on the USA/ Mexico border. The bridge or causeway from mainland to island is about 3 miles long and as we got to the end of the bridge we saw dolphins in the water, so cool. The KOA is right there at the end of this causeway and on the water, very nice.
