As usual, the day following a long weekend usually moves a bit more
slowly. Saturday afternoon, we drove down to Rockport to see how the
rebuilding is coming along, and to have dinner at one of our favorite
restaurants that just recently re-opened. Rockport is a tiny coastal
village that was really hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. Massive
destruction was everywhere. It will be two years since the hurricane
struck in August and it's taken a long time to get things back to
a new normal. While there are still many homes, condos and apartments
boarded up, many restaurants have re-opened and were very happy to
see the crowds of people returning to kick off the Summer of 2019.
Our favorite little restaurant is Bellino's. It's a charming little Italian
restaurant that serves great food in a very charming and cosy
atmosphere. The place had to be gutted after the hurricane, but the
owners were determined to re-open and their patrons are very happy
about it.
David and I have always preferred to dine at independently owned
restaurants. We avoid the big commercial chains unless we are
on the road and there is no other choice. One thing we noticed on
Saturday night was that no one was on their cell and that couples were
actually speaking to one another. I don't think anyone wanted to
leave, the atmosphere was just that pleasant.
I'm always sad when a holiday weekend comes to an end. It's so
nice to see more of David and just hang out together. I hope your
weekend was a nice as ours.
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
