For the last three years we have proudly called ourselves “Snowbirds”. This year we are in Texas and the locals and visitors alike call us winter Texans. I had heard that the local folks are truly glad to have us come down, and try hard to make everyone feel welcome, some businesses are only open for the “winter Texans”, and close at the end of the season. That is very true, everyone is so friendly that we feel very welcome. We are about the only northwesterners here. Everyone else seems to be from the Midwest, east, and eastern Canada (the French Canadians don’t speak much English).
Harold needed to make a Camping World run to Mission, so we made a day of it. We visited the old Spanish mission that is the towns namesake.
Not far from there is the Riverside Club, LINK . This is a bar, restaurant, and dancehall right on the banks of the Rio Grande River.
Mexico is on the other side. There is a strong border patrol presence here.
The ruins of the former monastery.
It was another great day.
More Later,
Rich
p.s. did I mention the temperature in the valley was 89° yesterday?
