South Texas and the Coast Places

Corpus Christi

As beach communities around the United States become more and more expensive, Corpus Christi remains an affordable destination for sun and fun. True to Texas, this city has a lot of personality. During a weekend here, a visitor will hear English and Spanish spoken in the same incomprehensible sentence, will eat some combination of Mexican food, barbecue, and seafood in obscene quantities, will see someone wearing flip-flops to a fancy restaurant, and will wonder aloud,"Does the wind always blow this hard?"
