Corpus Christi


The bridge on the way to Corpus.
More proof of all the windy weather here - lots of huge windmill parts!!

Texas is definitely oil country! Oil rigs everywhere. There are many areas - esp. north of Galveston (our next stop!), in Texas City - where you can drive around at night and see these little "oil cities" everywhere, all lit up (they have to keep going round the clock). They're kind of pretty - at night.
Heading towards downtown.

oops! Think we found it... :(

Corpus has a nice part, with fancy homes along the water. It has a busy, crowded strip mall part, along the freeway. And it has a touristy part...

While I didn't get any good drive-bys of the nice homes part, here is a cute public gazebo along the water.
