Day 33: Corpus Christi

Jenny and Clare both brought their Gonzaga shirts to sleep in, and Jack and I have the same Davis shirts. Instant classic picture. Maybe I need to think of more creative gifts to give?

Hi again! We had a fun and busy day down here yesterday-let me try and remember it all.

We woke up and everyone got ready for the day (as quickly as you can get ready with 6 people and a one bedroom apt). Jack made us blueberry pancakes for breakfast- thanks dude! After some discussion about what to do, we settled on going to the beach.

Side note: any "discussion" this group does usually consists of a lot of passive "i'm fine with whatever" until one person finally makes a decision. Very productive.

We wet to a beach on mustang island, about 20 minute from jacks house. The beach is a small strip of land right on the gulf of Mexico. The weather was nice- hot but windy. The water was still a little volatile but Alex but we still had fun swimming and getting knocked around by
waves.

After hanging out on the beach for the morning, we went into a town (port aransas maybe?) and had lunch at a local place. They would even cook your catch for you! I forgot the name of the place, sorry...

We came back to jacks and decided on another period of sunshine by going to the pool at jacks apt complex (clare wanted to tan as much as possible). We actually ended up playing volleyball in the pool with these people we met there who were very drunk and very funny. We of course won the game!

After that, we had all gotten a little too much sun for the day, so we went back to jack's, hung out, and got cleaned up while deciding what to do for the night (see side note from above). We eventually made our way across the bay to the "South Texas Sails 2010" event at the coast
guard base. They had ships from different countries (Mexico, USA, Paraguay, and chile) that you could tour. They also had vendors, live bands, and alcohol- what else could our group ask for? Clare tried to zumba her way onto the Chilean ship for a private party, but no such
luck. We then watched the fireworks coming off of the bay, went to Acapulco Taqueria for a late dinner and margaritas, then came home and called it a night! A fun day!

Happy 4th of July! Aka the second christmas in the sammut family
