Terrible place. Rattle snakes!!!!
Here are some pics I took around the area:
Corpus Christi skyline
CC skyline (post card)
Picture I took of a church on Shoreline, Corpus Christi, with a beautiful statue of Jesus in front, facing the bay, entitled, 'It is I', by Kent Ulberg.
Years ago the city had a proposal to erect a giant statue of Jesus (Corpus Christi means Body of Christ) downtown on the hill, (similiar to the one in Brazil-which would have put CC on the map), but Libs rejected it as not PC, I suppose.

Corpus Christi is supposed to be the ‘Windy City’ not Chicago.
It’s not windy here most of the time.
Yes, indeed!
There are poisonous snakes. Horrible place.
Terrible place.
So Libs, be warned!
In fact TEXAS is a terrible place!
Stay away!
We lived in Corpus Christi for a while in 1964 when I was 4. We went to Padre Island several times and I vaguely recall one shack falling down and no people. We had the place to ourselves usually. I saw some deer down the beach. That’s about all I remember of it.
Then in the 80s I saw spring break on TV on South Padre or somewhere and there were hotels and people and riots and clubs. Wow.
It’s good to know the old quiet place is still quiet.
Yeah, we are always getting bit by big snakes and spiders! They are everywhere! Even in your bed! Don’t walk around without spot lights on at night in Texas. Big snakes and spiders is the real reason why Texans carry around guns. It’s terrible. : (
Patriot08, here is my view just the other morning out the back door of my condo in Port Aransas. I live here all year.

Sara, I did shoot a 4 footer out my front door the other day. But just another day in Paradise.

Thank you for the compliment. I am now using it for my desktop image on my computer.
One morning, a year or so ago, I did see a porpoise playing and jumping out past the breakers. Really cool.
Come on back down it is still a great little beach town. A lot more construction but still nice.
Sorry for the tripple posts! Doing this now on a kendle fire. Lol

The clouds in that plc look like a wild windswept ocean.
This just in: The Pope is still Catholic.
Well, as Liberals hate guns, they had best not go to Texas with all those snakes. They’ll be eaten alive. If you can’t aim and shoot multiple attacking snakes at a time, you are a gonner in Texas. If don’t have a machine gun, the snakes pull up a chair and demand gritts every morning! That is why EVERYONE in Texas has to participate in the annual rattle snake round ups!
Texans wear those cowboy hats cuz spiders will nest in their hair if they don’t. And you seen those great big silver belt buckles they wear? If they don’t put them on, the spiders nest in their belly buttons. They collect belly button lint to make their massive nests! Lordy, big enough nests to capture a three year old. That’s the main reason Texans wear those strange hats and big buckles!
Did you hear about the liberal from California who lost his bedroom slippers to a family of Texas poisonous spiders! His feet nearly froze off. I heard his wife went out to get in the car for work one morning and snakes were all over the front and back seats. Anyway, I would not move to Texas if I were a liberal.
Teacher?? Oh my...
Sounds lovely! I don’t live remote enough, I can see a couple of houses through the trees.
Bttt
