TEXAS-mostly









This Encore park has Thousand Trail sites
 that allowed us a two week stay.
  We enjoyed the Rio Grande Valley with pickleball,
 beaches, history, and warmth.

The Start of the Mexican-American war and
 James K. Polk's land grab.  (Manifest Destiny)


The day started foggy.

But cleared to a beautiful warm day at the beach.


The end of the beach day finds us with shrimp tacos
 and a cheeseburger in "Parrots Eyes".  
That is the restaurant's name.

New Year's Eve dinner and dance 
at the clubhouse in Tropic Winds.


This is the original!  You can find out how and 
why it is here by following the link.



A rest and picnic overlooking the Rio Grande.





This was made a National Monument in 2009
 is the 100th Monument named.
We did not find any dinosaur footprints!


We've crossed this trail several times, it runs
 from Mexico City to Sante Fe.
