After three wonderful days with my sister Maria and  her family here in
Kemah, Texas we will get back on the road this morning.   Enjoyed many
gastronomical delights of the Bay area, visit to the Kemah  Boardwalk and Galvaston Beach
with a dip in the warm blue ocean, and much  family communing good times but
we must get moving.  We did make one small  repair while here, the sliding door
was popping open on the road more frequently  so we ordered a new lock
mechanism from the local VW dealer.  Two days  wait and $30 made the door secure
again.  Lots of Tourags on the lot  but we have yet to see one on the road !  In
fact it's a rare sight to see  any kind of VW product on the roads around
here.  Lots of Hummers  though.
    New Orleans is our next stop.  We hope to  make it there by night fall.
Any List members in that area with a cold  beer and conversation ?  We have a
bunch more photos to up load but  mostly family pics from here so we will wait
until after our visit to New  Orleans.
    I received a message from our good friend Hans  telling me the Quebec
Club, _Club  international de camping-car Westfalia_
(http://www.westfalia.qc.ca/) , Omerville event was a great  success with 325 in attendance, yahoo !
Sorry I had to miss that one  but.................we have some crawfish to deal
with.
    Ina is still in the Phoenix area having her van  repaired and looks like
she may not catch up with us now.  We hope to have  more news from her today.

Cheers,
