Received our first Covid-19 vaccine shot today

63ºwith heavy fog -- which has been in place all day -- at 9:00 pm Thursday.

 Left our house a little before 7 am this morning and drove the 30 miles south-east to Los Fresnos, TX to the rodeo grounds where Los Fresnos has a new large Fire Department building on spacious grounds.  We were in line on the highway for some 25 minutes and finally got onto the grounds just before 8 am along with probably nearly a thousand other cars, for receiving the first Covid-19 vaccine shot.

Sat in line for about 3.5 hours then only about 10 minutes to drive up to the building.

I did not take the following photos, but took them off Cameron County web site of the action last Wednesday in the same building.

It was nearly noon when we left, after waiting a bit and talking with an EMS guy who said if we were to have an adverse reaction it would have probably taken place within 3 minutes.  I write this a little after 9 pm and arm is just a bit tender, but no real problems.  We drove the 15 miles or so on towards the coast to Port Isabel and ate shrimp at Pelican Station.  One of only about 5 times we have eaten in a restaurant this winter.

Was also the first time, in the nearly 3 months we have been here that we ate shrimp.  One of the reasons we come here usually.  When things are opened up next winter am sure we will be eating in restaurants more.  The only other times we ate in a restaurant  this winter was when we were coming back from the innumerable teeth works in Progreso. 

Afterwards, before we headed for Kenwood, we stopped at one of our favorite stores in Port Isabel.

Lots of really fine things inside the store.

Would like, sometime, to get some of 

these wall decorations.

This was my supper this evening.

We had set in line over 4 hours

on Wednesday to get these

vouchers to let us in at Los Fresnos

today.

This is the pass we were given to show at the building after we were interviewed and given signed papers while still waiting in the lot in our vehicles.

We are to be notified where we get the second Covid-19 shot on February 18th.

Later, Lynn
