First rule, mein Freund: Texans don’t hand out their true secrets like free pretzels at Oktoberfest.

Corpus Christi – Bier, Beaches & Big Ships

Ach du lieber Himmel, Texas! The first time I stepped out of my truck in Corpus Christi, the air slapped me right in the face – salty, humid, and carrying a whiff of diesel from the port.
