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.
After a few trips in a smaller, used motorhome, we decided we liked all that adventuring so much, we came home and traded in our RV for a bigger one, moved out of our house and rented it, moving into our little yurt in the back country of a certain southern CA county - all in one month! We started out afresh then as full-time RVers - my husband, two cats, two dogs, and I. And indeed, our first year with our new Winnebago Tour, we were out from Jan. to Nov. However, due to health issues and trying to avoid the cold wintery weather found in so much of our country, subsequent years have seen us only out for about 6 months, scurrying back to sunny, mild southern Calif. come fall.
I am amazed at all we've seen and the wonderful people we've met. Come share it with us...
