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!
