Deep in the Heart of Texas

Corpus Christi TX  to  San Antonio TX   165 Miles

Day 17

Damp, chilly, windy  and heavy overcast again in Corpus Christi this morning.  We headed north west,  on I37 toward San Antonio around 10:00 .  Not much noteworthy on this ride, other than some of the biggest refineries and chemical plants that I've ever seen.

We are staying on the west side of the city, literally right across the street from Sea World.  We are very happy with the RV park, nice neighborhood (NOT a ghetto!) no train in the back yard, not right on a highway so no traffic noise, good security, clean and near shopping centers and a mall!  We'll have to see if a dog in the homes adjacent to the park barks tonight. 

No walking today.  Jim rode his bike this afternoon...he forgot about hills.  We don't have hills in Charleston, he is now crippled.  *I* on the other hand, am aware that this is considered 'Texas Hill Country'...I think we are on the edge of it, but I have eyes and can see that it's hilly in this neighborhood!

He has been craving Mexican food.  The proprietors here suggested a place a few miles down the road.  Before we left I googled it and amid many great reviews, was an article about the restaurant getting two perfect scores from the health department.  That was good enough for us, so off we went.  I guess you could call it Tex-Mex, emphasis on the Mex.  Either way it was excellent, and reasonably priced.  Good dining experience...always ask the locals.

Some days the 30 foot box seems smaller...
