19 – 22 Nov Thanks Giving Celebrations

After such an exciting weekend we took it easy for the next few days.  We went to see the new James Bond film ‘Skyfall’ on the Monday and then Louise flew back to North Carolina on the Tuesday.

We were due to leave New Braunfels on the Wednesday but as Thursday was Thanks Giving Day we decided to stay at this site and join in with their Thanks Giving dinner (for 70 people).  Alison helped with the table lay out and decorations, and Paul helped carve the turkey and hams.  We had a very enjoyable meal with lots of food and friendly chat.  All of Alison’s home-made Lime Cheesecake soon went!

This is the longest we have been at a camp site – two weeks.  Lots of things to see and do and Alison enjoyed the company of the other ladies at aqua aerobics and playing cards.  We may come back but for now we have decided to retrace our steps along the south coast and head to north Florida to get our US Driver’s licences.  We have obtained a Florida address via the Good Sam club and a US licence should substantially reduce our insurance premiums.  This will also make North Carolina a little easier to drive to for when we spend Xmas with Louise.
