BIG TEXAS

Well off to the big state of Texas...George Bush is Back home....and we both concur that money has been flowing in this big state, the roads here are the best we have encountered, we won't have to rescrew the motorhome back together after being shook to sh#@ after a long drive.  We are in Brownsville Texas...cute little town, close to south padre island, and home to a great little zoo. both of which there are pictures we have posted just a couple here.  The zoo is unbelievable, no high fences, all the animals are left fairly free...kinda gave us an uneasy feeling when we got to the lions and the rhinos, but they seem content to leave humans alone. Must also note that susan got us to Brownsville without much trouble, we seem to realize she likes straight little drives, with not alot of turns or changes of roads, the easy way out!!  Definite change in landscape, we have trees along with cactus and palm trees...lots of citrus trees all over, and papaya trees right behind our motorhome in the park, very nice...remember where theres fruit theres always LARGE creepy crawlies..oooohhh!  South padre island was fantastic, although still doing alot of rebuilding since hurrican ike rolled through, alot of business' still closed, and alot of buildings and houses getting roofs replaced.  We are also hoping that being winter time here, the cooler season, that more people will show up in next month or so.....very quiet, very very quiet...the merchants are a little worried! Got some wonderfull pictures of new up and coming higher end housing for sale on south padre island, we could get used to living here!

St.David Resort

St. David Resort

Got to travel to our home resort...in St.David, called St.David...wonderfull resort...Got to travel into Tombstone, home of the OK Coral, and old funky cemetary..in a nut shell, had a great time.  Got some quick pictures to sum it up.

New years and on....

Well we left Winterhaven, said goodbye to Roberts parents after having spent a very nice week...on to our next stop of Bisbee for a week. Very nice spot, lots of history, Susan got us there without any issues, although was pretty much a straight line this time. Dressed up fancy and went through an old copper mine...I don't recommend it..there are no windows..you cannot see out!! Spent new years with a small group at the campground...was a fun time. Found and ate at some great little cafes, coulda' stayed longer in this little town but time to pack up and move along through New Mexico and onto BIG OLE TEXAS.

Another quickie update

Hello people, we finally got into a site with an excellent internet connection....we have some fabulous pictures we are going to dowload off the cameras so we can upload them onto this site for all to see....however we are just waiting for a rainy day or cloudy one....don't want to misuse the weather patterns down here ya know...hoping everyone has had a good time making snow men and snow angels....although we hear most of the snow is gone and/or going....but never fear, its only January and most snow comes to the west coast in the Jan\Feb. months, just in case y'all might have forgotten..lol. stuck in a picture outside the old red radish...not nice, its taken couple weeks after the snow has fallen.
