Day 7- Houston to Corpus Christi, TX
L.B. Johnson Space Center and Padre Island National Seashore

Well, today has proved to be interesting, yet seven days now we have managed to see rain. As we were driving to Corpus Christi sky was blue and out of the middle of nowhere a cloud burst. Honestly, I haven't seen anything like this before, very interesting.
So anyway, we got up and headed to the Space ...

I looked for a place to stay on couchsurfing dot com and found a place with some students. They were all really great. They took me out to a really good BBQ place where you order your food by the 1/2 pound or pound. I couldn't stop laughing. Later that night we all went out for some beers and a few games of pool. I didn't take many photos but I did get one of him and his dog doing a trick.

... thing placing this particular scene squarely in south Texas. Found a great hotel on the north end of town called the Lighthouse Inn. It's right on the bay overlooking the water, and we have a great room with ocean view and private balcony for $149, including a free hot breakfast. Definitely equivalent to about a 4 star place.

... bulldozed and all junky yards are hauled away to eliminate a rat habitat. Hurricanes cause clean-up actions. · Some areas of Texas that are referred to as "desert" are not barren at all.

... light my eyes let in, how much I allow what can be illuminated to be illuminated, how much I clear my mind and find the center of my connection to the world, how much I exercise the inertia of my will so that its reach is far, how well I listen to my heart recognizing that which it knows beyond my ego's myopic vision, and how much I do in resistance to the inspirations of fear. Friday we set sail for Freeport, Louisianna. It will be the first stretch of a long release . . .

... taken a wrong turn, well nearly - as Betsy pointed out the big sign directing us to turn left I started to turn in (under a big flyover) just as another car was coming towards me! "It must be one way" (or words to that effect I quietly murmured to Betsy) as I swung back and drove quickly straight on. We could see the carrier, it's rather too big not to, but it took us a little while to renegotiate our way round the rest of a one way system to get there. The worst thing about all ...

... not the case.  It also never occurred to us that having the two vans on one campsite would pose such problems.  Well in the word of the campsite Nazi, "We have a real problem here!"   Once again for those of you who know me I am not at my best in the mornings before a coffee and this woman was pounding on my van and yelling at me.  The horror.  We had parked two RVs on the same site and what was worse we had yet to self register.  "Houston we have a problem!"  Apparently it did not ...

... usually categorized by degrees. 1st degree felonies are the most serious class (with the highest fines and penalties), 2nd degree felonies are less serious, and so on. Many states treat DUIs that cause serious bodily injury as a 3rd degree felony. If there has been a death as a result of the DUI, it might be classified as a ...

... initial 15-day period must be pursuant to a court issued stay order. The stay order will temporarily suspend the revocation until the case is settled. If the court upholds the arrest, the driver serves any remaining time for the original revocation period and must meet the reinstatement requirements.
