Address: Mezquite Street
City: SPI
State: TX
zip: 78597
connection: current resident
Info: 37/m and 35/f with a pre-teen girl and two dogs. Residents since July 1999. We have no idea what Sping Break traffic will be like, but we'll make the best of it. Any others out there? We see mostly seniors, and they don't usually drink the same stuff we do... The Brewery is the best and only place on this island to get beer! So far, we have ben enjoying the water and sunsets. Not much luck in fishing.

info = Living in New Jersey now and man is it way different than island living. I sure do miss it. Wondering if Adelaide ever came back to the island and how she is doing. If you see her tell her I am looking to chat with her to see whats new in her life. I personally have finally found Mr. Right and hes really a great guy, he just lives in Jersey. I go to the Jersey shore but its not the same as the beach on the island. People here are really uptight on the beach and dont really know how to enjoy it like the islanders do. But bless their lil hearts, they try.

Info: I was born in San Benito Texas. SPI has always been a favorite hang out of mine. Ive met and made many friends there and ALWAYS have a great time when I visit. I am now on diplomatic assignment in Montreal, Canada but I vacation in Harlingen 4 times a year... therefore, I visit SPI 4 times a year. I'd like to make even more friends as I quickly tire of this Canadian snow and cold. Perhaps we can even get together while Im down there. I'd like to meet a female between the ages of 18-35.

connection? = past resident
info = Hola SPI...I go way back to 1968, when I owned I guess the first true 'surf shop' in the area, called The Shop, on Garcia St. right across from the old Donut Hole, during the days of the drawbridge. Moved to San Antonio 12 years ago, but still get back to The Beach of the Gulf coast, SPI, about four times a year. Hang at Mr. Bills Wahoos most of the time, but always seem to be bumping into old friends that remember what the great days of free surfing were like at SPI. Surfing the channel, paddling over to Boca during the winter, getting slammed into the old jail just because we were longhairs. Who was that masked man???? Anyway, just wanted to say hi and will be down soon. Whats happening for the year 2,000 there??? Adieu...Diddie
