Re: Wild place on the coast

I've never been to Matagorda, but I think it has an interesting name. Matar, in Spanish, means to kill. Gorda would refer to a fat woman (no offense to anyone). So, it seems, that Matagorda would mean "killer of the fat woman," but I'm not entirely sure on that.

Has anybody been to Matagorda Island? What's that like?
