Let's take a weekend trip to San Antonio!

The weather in Puerto Rico is supposed to be bad (rain, gusty winds) to misearble (tropical depression) during this weekend, so, instead of staying on the island, let's take a short trip to.... San Antonio, Texas !

I know.... 'in August???' you say - 'when its hotter there than a capsicum pepper???'
OK, OK, I promise we shall just take a strol and a water taxi on the Riverwalk (Paseo del Rio). How does that sound?

Art in the sand

What better to do on a day on the beach than play in the sand?

Perhaps turning playing in the sand into art?

Here are some of my photographic memories of an annual Sand Sculpture Festival held on Mustang Island, off Corpus Christi, TX.

The festival lasts three days. the artists start on Friday, with their beach place, barrels of wet beach sand and a few tools. Bu Sunday noon all sculptures have to be finished, because then they are judged.

The pictures are from all three days of the 2005 festival and the top pictures are of the sculpture that won firt price that year .
Hope you'll enjoy this little trip to the beach art gallery. :-)
