Outrigger’s. . .
Today, as usual, we start with the requisite Landon photo.
He looks like he’s not too sure what’s going on, but whatever it is, he doesn’t like it.
Forgot to mention this yesterday, but when were in Ryan’s last evening, Jan looked around and said she kept waiting for the Amish to come in.
When we would visit Ryan’s in Elkhart IN, we always saw a large number of Amish eating there. Apparently, Ryan’s is very popular with the Amish for some reason.
Nick Russell called a little after 1 pm, so we could catch up and solve a few more of the world’s problems. They’re in the Gettysburg PA area, and say it’s well recommended as a great place to visit.
About 3 pm we drove up the road to Outriggers, our favorite local on-the-water seafood place.
In this case, on-the-water means on the Clear Lake Channel, connecting Clear Lake with Galveston Bay, and under the Kemah Bridge.
They have a great open-air deck overlooking the Channel.
And the view is great, too.
Of course, the food was great, too…as usual. We started off with a dozen raw oysters. Our waitress said we were lucky as the season had just started, otherwise they wouldn’t have been available.
For our entrees, Jan had a Shrimp and Oyster Po-boy, and I had a cup of Red Beans and Rice, and a dozen Boiled Shrimp. 
While we were eating we saw a shrimp boat come in to dock, followed by a large flock of seagulls. Deckhands usually are washing the trash fish off the deck thru the scuppers, and into the water. And the seagulls are always looking for a handout. 
Also nearby, we saw several of Jan’s favorite birds, pelicans.
We’ll probably try to bring Jan’s sister, Debbie and her husband, Jim, here next week.
More tomorrow…
