Friday 2/8/13
On our 2nd day in the Fulton-Rockport area, we drove 30 miles to Corpus Christi, TX |
Corpus Christi has a population of 307,953. |
We found our way to Ocean Drive. Many mansions along this drive. |
View of Oso Bay with many birds in the distance as we continued Ocean Dr. Right before the bridge over this bay, is the location of Texas A & M University. |
We thought Ocean Drive would take us to Padre Island, but it took us to the Naval Air Station and dead ended there. |
We turned around and drove back on Ocean Drive. |
One of the many mansions on Ocean Drive |
A new mermaid statue that had just been erected. |
We stopped at a couple of the many parks along the drive. |
One of the largest parks along the drive had a walkway, |
to a pier. |
View of the large city park from the pier. |
View of the city from the pier. |
The park had a large play area for the little ones. |
It also had a very nice skateboard/bike ramps. |
I read that Corpus Christie has many gangs in the city. This skateboard/bike area gives the young people a place to go and have other interests. |
We followed Ocean Dr. to the marina. |
There is free parking along Ocean Drive in the marina area. |
We walked down the road that took us past the boats . |
A view back toward the downtown area and from where we just walked. |
Joe went off to check out an old ship, |
as I continued walking around the marina area. Joe's Crab Shack is located at the marina. |
Corpus Christi in Latin means Body Of Christ. |
Further down from the marina is an air craft carrier. |
and an Art Museum. |
The day was ending, so we headed back north to Fulton. |
