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.

... once in a while. Not too many other people around, since we missed spring break by a week, thankfully. We stopped off in downtown Corpus Christi on the way back to Rockport to check the place out. After a huge lunch at Rudy's BBQ (fairly standard Texas bbq fare), we took a walk downtown along the oceanfront walkway. The city seemed time-worn, like it had seen better, more prosperous days. The area at the tip of the point that was formerly a large ...

... 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.

Their first Champion quarter horse was given registration number 1 from the American Quarter horse Association. Their success with thoroughbreds is equally undisputed, having attained a Triple Crown champion, two Kentucky Derby winners and siring seven more. · In an effort to produce a more insect ...

... put down temporary roots here for Xmas beside the great many 'Winter Texans' who call this home for a while too. Here's something... we met a couple here also from the UK who are doing the same as us, and when we swapped notes about driving and journeys etc etc it transpired that they had arrived shortly before us, having travelled the same route into Corpus Christi - when they passed that table it still had all four legs!

... deed.  Awww relief, but much to my horror mid-stream I realized that this was where the original owner of the house was buried!  I didn't let it stop me though. LOL!  And for the rest of the trip the kids have been prodding me about finding graveyards to pee in.        We had heard the weather was good in East Texas at a place called Padre Island near Corpus Christie.  At this stage of the game I was about 3 weeks out on the Revenue Canada letter and the best is yet to come.  We ...

... the same ducks!!!! They employ their own Duck Master. Imagine putting that on your resume! This was the highlight of the day. We walked all over downtown Memphis however, I believe it is best experienced at night when Beale Street comes alive with Blues and Rock music and/or the FedEx Forum is hosting an NBA game. Did you know that Memphis is now home to the former Vancouver Grizzly NBA team? There are free buses to take you to Graceland and Sun City but ...
