George Strait & Dolphins

Well, the kayak has introduced us to a completely new side of Rockport. It takes us places we could never go on foot, and it's really giving us an appreciation for this place and its beauty.

On Friday, we kayaked from the beach on the south side of Key Allegro to our favorite little restaurant on the north side of Key Allegro. On our trip, we paddled right by George Strait's kitchen window and by his massive yacht, which he named himself "Day Money." We also saw two perfectly in-synch dolphins swimming right beside us. We were pretty amazed, so we went back to the same place on Sunday, hoping to see the dolphins again, and we did! This time, they got right next to our kayak and then swam directly underneath us. For a minute, we weren't sure where they had gone. We were looking ........ and looking ......... and looking ......... and suddenly, I feel Albert's foot in my back! The dolphins had popped back up right next to him and scared him! (Albert, I know you weren't scared ... just "surprised.") We followed them for as long as we could ... it was pretty amazing.
