CHICAGO IS CALLED THE WINDY CITY? DON'T THINK SO!

I've been to Chicago when it has been windy. It has nothing on Brownsville, TX! They tell me you want wind down here, or it would be too hot. Well, maybe in the summer---but not now!  The ten day forecast has the temps in the 60's and the wind up to 25mph.

We have never experienced so much wind!

You've seen those nice palm trees~~balls of palms~~look at these!  They do return to nice balls of palms, usually in the late evenings.

I'm not complaining, I realize the weather here is so much better than up north, for us.  We don't have ice, snow, and very low temperatures. Just can't get over the wind!

This is the smaller of the two alligators that live on South Padre Island.

The wind does not seem to affect the alligators at the Birding Center on South Padre Island.

South Padre Island has this statue gracing Isla Blanca Park, (White Island Park).  
The statue is El Cristo de los Pescadores, (Christ of the fishermen) located at the tip of the island.
