Mustang Island Beach
On a work-road trip to McAllen, Texas I had the opportunity to swing by Corpus Christi and grab dinner. No parading, no shopping planned, just a quick bite before seeing more freeway. I wasn't expecting to see very much. Boy, was I surprised. We stopped for dinner just 4 miles off our route at Harrison's in Corpus Christi. We sat in the "floating" seating, a roped off dock with tables and chairs, and enjoyed some of the town's talented musicians singing homegrown versions of Sublime songs. The sun set with beautiful yellow and orange colored clouds reflected in the water and I was amazed no others were photographing this beautiful scene. Maybe indifferent, or maybe used to the beauty that is this town, and us the tourists making ourselves clearly known. Thank you Corpus Christi for your beauty and your meal. I'm sorry our stay was rushed, we will definitely be back!
