A Great Day

The local weather woman on the news promised sun today, and she was eventually right. Threatening storm clouds hung around all morning and into the early afternoon, but there was no rain.  By 2 p.m., the skies were blue and sunny.  

We drove over the bridge to Corpus Christi after breakfast and then walked five miles up and down the walkway along the bay. 

Then we headed over to Nueces Brewing Company for a stout and a pulled pork sandwich.

We’ve enjoyed our first visit to Nueces, but this time, the prices and service did not impress. Sometimes, it’s hard to replicate that positive first impression.

Our favorite brewery in Corpus Christi had been Lorelei, but it appears to have at least temporarily closed late last year. A quick internet search revealed a small brewery not far away, but closing was at 2 p.m. on Sundays.  We made it to the south side to Lazy Beach Brewing with about ten minutes to spare.

An industrial space in the middle of nowhere, an overhead door in the back opened up to some wooden picnic tables in the alley.  There definitely was no beach, but the quality of the beer, reasonable prices and friendly service made up for it.

Another stout

Although last call was at 2 p.m., they let us hang out long after that.  There were families with kids and dogs and board games.  Everyone was enjoying the sun coming out.

After arriving back at our Airbnb, Julia and I hit the beach for some more strolling along the surf under sunny skies.

It was a great day. The walking was flat, but we both got over ten miles in.
