From Winnie TX to Corpus Christi TX

Driving down from the high lands to the sea shores, all what you will see is
flat, flat, flat landscapes


Entering Bolivar Peninsula - in front of you the glimmer of the Gulf of Mexico


The first oil wells drilling that I have seen in my life - and there will be many more in Texas, I guess. :)


It was a bad view what we get to see here on this Bolivar Peninsula: the remains of the damages from Hurricane "Ike" from last September 2008! People are still cleaning up. The landscape looks very sad, it looked like after a war, not kidding! The houses were totally swiped out from the storm - very sad pictures to see. See here more:


Click in the picture and you can see the big damage closely!


Or pictures like this to the left and to the right side of the road! It made me very sad to see this today, still after so many weeks and months all the debris around in the fields.

The light house at Port Bolivar


We took the Ferry ride over to Galvaston. It was a nice 20 minutes ride and it was free. There was a bridge to Galvaston before "Ike" came.


Seagulls were accompanying the Ferry with their loud screams, begging for food


At the water shores of Galvaston


There were many big and colorful Mansions in this town and there were built in the very nice Victorian style architecture


We took the road down to Corpus Christi at the Gulf shores. It was getting dark and at Lake Texana I get a real prairie sunset to photograph.


Hi my friends,

Just now, writing this post I'm sitting at the beach on Mustang Island in Port Aransas,Tx. It is paradise out here! We can park our RV at the beach, maybe 10 feet away from the waves, rolling to the shores with a loud sound. David made a little video, I'll try to download it too for you :) stay tuned!!!

Thanks for all the comments again, very much appreciated. I'm so sorry, that I cannot visit all your blogs anymore, like I did. I hope you understand, I really don't have the time anymore to hang in the Internet, like I did before - I hope it doesn't sounds like a cheap excuse, because it is'nt one! Thank! :)

Susanne and David
