The boondoggle of getting my ticket updated in Dallas took way too long. But the time I had my new ticket, it was getting rather late. Dealey Plaza was just a couple of blocks away, but it was getting dark before I got there, so the only shot I could make was this Old Red Museum before sunset. There are better pictures out there, but I was impressed by the way it looked.
Corpus Christi is seeing massive highway projects and some of them are awfully high in the air for no apparent reason.
We tried to get out to South Padre Island, but the traffic was backed up all the way into Port Isabel and beyond. We got far enough to check out a small park hidden in a little neighborhood. I didn't like the way this turned out, but it was the best I could do with my cell phone to capture the huge buildings out on South Padre.
Turning in the opposite direction from that same park, this shows some of the houses along the beach in Port Isabel. The water here is quite shallow; we saw a fisherman in waders standing in water just to his waist about 50 yards out from the park.
This was what the storms looked like rolling into San Benito.
