Well, more like lunch and a matinee.
This is "Holy Week" - one last tourism push on South Padre Island before the summer season begins. This is a holiday week for many in Mexico. Quite a few condos on the island are owned by Mexican nationals. There is an influx of Mexican visitors this week.
We thought it would be a good time to take in a movie, before the traffic gets thicker on the island. Lunch at BurgerFi! Joan wanted to see Draft Day, starring Kevin Costner. The movie is about the behind the scenes happenings of the NFL draft. We both enjoyed the movie; Costner is believable and charismatic as the General Manager of the Cleveland Browns... the last minute trades and negotiations were fun to watch.
Two thumbs up from us. Two thumbs up for the lunch, too. ;-)
We stopped at a surf shop on the way home to pick up a leash for the paddleboard. In the parking lot of the surf shop, we came across this...
Yes, that is a genuine 1964 Honda 150 Dream. Same year and model of the first motorcycle I owned. In my mind, it was bigger back then... maybe it just seemed bigger, compared to all the Honda and Suzuki 90s that were popular back then? Maybe I was smaller back then? When she saw it, Joan said, "Goodness that is little-bitty." Yeah, that's exactly how I'd describe it.
Turns out, the bike is newly acquired by one of the guys in the surf shop. Not in pristine condition, but it still runs. Not bad for a 50 year old motorcycle. A fun little blast from the past.
