We take a drive up the coast to see the small ports of Rockport and Fulton. One very developed with enormous homes and huge boats parked on their docks, the other laid back with the shrimp trawlers and gulls circling for scraps off boats as they come in. Lunch of oyster stew (tons of cream!) and crab stuffed shrimp and local beers, overlooking the trawler harbor, is great. Dinner of red snapper caught that day and oysters is good too.
We enjoyed lunch with Carlos and Laura (Don Druery's niece), who live in Corpus Christi and were a mine of local lore.
Mornings were generally foggy and sometimes didn't clear until early afternoon, so 6 days at the beach satisfied my need for sea, sand and all things marine. The UofTexas Marine centre was an interesting visit, but no dolphins visit, disappointing too.
