Feeling good and rested! It's time for a little more riding and sight-seeing today. This morning, my sister asked me along on a little excursion to a little store she likes to go to. In this town, a little store will sometime translate into a small house that has been converted into a shop of some kind. Sure enough, that's where we went. We are off to "La Tiendita" or little store. They have a bunch of odds and ends but a steady stream of people in ...

I am planning for a quiet day today with family and friends. We started the day off right with the breakfast of champions at Taqueria Jalisco #12. There are a bunch of these Taqueria Jalisco restaurants in town. There's one on almost any corner. The food is great and the service is always good. You get plenty of food for a good price! I went to breakfast/lunch, OK let's call it brunch with my sister's Toni and Nina. Now, this is real Mexican fo...

Whew, another scorcher of a day! Decided I would like to go see my parents' grave site as I do every time I come into town.

Time for a little history tour today! It's a nice day and not as bad a heat if you are up early enough. I swear, this place has two seasons, Hot and damn hot season!

I had one elementary school, one Jr high school, and one high school. Let's hope my gramma...

Boy, another scorcher of a day in old Corpus Christi. Spent most of the day in Air conditioning just relaxing and talking to family. We have lots to catch up on since I don't come down all that often. I moved away from Corpus Christi about 30 years ago!I finally got a call I was waiting for from old high school friends. Remember, I graduated high school in 1978 and here we are in 2014. That's 36 years and I haven't seen most of these guys since. ...
