Corpus Christi Tx

While home we took a couple of days and went to visit our friends Eric and Ram in Corpus. We had a really good time while there.



We went to the Surf Club the first night there. There was a Roger Creager concert that evening.



Creager always puts on a good show. I don't think there is a time that we have been to a Creager concert and not had a good time.



Here is Eric with us having a good time.



This pictures of the band turned out a lot better than I expected.



Our other friend that lives in Corpus, Ram with Eric and Suzanne. The Surf Club has tables that are surf boards.

Traveling Fun

Traveling is always fun!


Our luggage is continually getting more ware and tare and our carry on has decided that it didn't want the handle to go up and down anymore. This makes it where you can either carry it without rolling or squat down and roll it. After a while it gets rather heavy, so I decided that it would be easier to carry on my head, but it was hard so I put a pillow under it.

The day before...

So now it is the day before we go on R&R. We'll be back in Houston this time catching up with people we haven't seen in quite some time. We'll dust off the old cell phones and hopefully they will still work :)



As promised: Suzanne in her new dress

New dress

The other day Suzanne went to the fabric market and bought some nice fabric. She is currently having a seamstress make it into a dress. When we get it back we'll put up a picture with her in her new dress.

Random Pictures

I thought maybe I'd put up some random pictures that we happen to have




Here is Dave playing with a spear. I think I was better with the boomerang than the spear but they were both fun.





A nice peacock from one of the places that we went to.




This is a nice view of the rainforest's trees from above. The gondola ride was really spectacular.




We really had to get a picture of one of the licence plates saying Australia!





This was a weird looking tree so I took a picture of it.

Mixican Restaurant in Australia

While we were in Cairns we found a Mexican food restaurant to visit




The food was pretty good for being so far away from Mexico. We had some chips and queso. I think it is illegal to go to a Mexican food place without getting chips and queso. It is interesting to me to taste the different variations of the same foods in the different parts of the world. It is kinda funny that the chips and queso in Mexico City tasted weird because it was actual Mexican food and not Tex-Mex. Mmmm... Tex Mex I can taste it already, we will be back in Houston in less than two weeks and that is definitely going to be one of the items on the agenda. :)
