Beaching continues

Friday was relatively uneventful, with just a normal beach day now under our belts.  Both the pool water and ocean water temperatures are the warmest I can recall encountering in my life.  The ocean here is also interesting.  All sand bottom (no rocks) and a very deep shelf of sand with a quite gradual ocean deepening - we got out "pretty far" (relative to other beaches) and still were only in about 4-5 feet deep.  The water is most certainly not clear - constantly churned by the waves and overall just murky.

Saturday was a bit more exciting.  We started our day with early morning run/walk on the beach.  And well, we hit some weather about 30 minutes into our exercise.  Check these out:

Don't mind the fact that I seemed to think it was June 22 when recording (it was not!)

Rather than hang out on the beach and deal with the floods, we made our way to Corpus Christi.  Buttercup met up with a former student for lunch at Kiko's Mexican and SuperJimi braved the mean streets of CC on his own, landing at Whataburger.  Tasty on both accounts.  They have Dr. Pepper milkshakes, which are quite the treat.  We drove around and got a little taste of CC - not particularly exciting, but an ok town.

(as a fan of "Fear the Walking Dead", I really like this sign....)

At 4pm on Saturday an acoustic concert was held at the SandCastle Condos, so we made a quick stop at the HEB plus and then raced back to the crib.  Two guys played and sang for about 3 hours and we were able to sit on our balcony and enjoy the show.  Good, clean fun.
