Grand Tour of Texas: Day 10 Laredo, Padre Island, Corpus Christi

---

Back on Tour!!!!! Day 10!!!!

Cousin Chuy joined me in the car to head down through Zapata, McCallen, Brownsville, and Harlingen. Mostly these cities are nothing of note. Sorry residents!

We reached South Padre Island and braved the high winds that nearly blew us down. Winter on the beach isn't really recommended I guess 😊

We next drove even further to Boca Chica State Park, where the mighty Rio Grande empties out into the Gulf of Mexico. Now I need to see the source of the Rio Grande and I can say I've done good by the river. I should swim across it one of these days, swim back to Mexico hahahahahaha*snort*hahahaha!

We turned on up to Corpus Christi next. We made a quick stop at the Blue Ghost/USS Lexington before we settled in at Victoria, TX. Cousin Chuy treated me to my first Buccee's EVER! And I must say the experience was amazing! Everything a traveller wants is here! Snacks, clean restroom, BBQ, jerky, fudge, sodas, gas, sandwiches....yum!

We stopped at the hotel for the night, ready to head further north into Houston the following morning.
