We waltzed back to the Padre Island sea shore, but after a few days of relentless wind we headed for Corpus Christi Lake, still windy, but the trees calm it down a bit, settled into a great campground for a week, as soon as we stepped from our vehicle we were invited to "cocktail hour" with Al and Pat and friends, playing horseshoes, doing pot luck, and of course whining a lot!  Met other Canadians here from Ontario and Saskatchewan. Some Snowbirds from the U.S. North have been coming here for fifteen years. I often rave about the great Texas prison system, just read that they have 79 prisons ,none with air-conditioning, but they just spent three quarters of a million on A/C for the prison  pig pens!
