... a USA caminando sobre Rio Grande.


Today we made a quick visit to Mexico. A 230Km from San Antonio, Laredo is located (USA), and Nuevo Laredo (Mexico), separated by the famous Rio Grande. We parked the car in Laredo and after a brief visit, we crossed the border on foot, how exciting. Upon our arrival to Mexico, and after paying 75 cents, the street was plenty of Mexicans waiting there to offer ...

Meghan and I were able to shoot the 300 Mag. in this afternoon. We were not able to find and Elk life size target for practice, but had to settle for this Whitetail Deer. She shot this target and scored in the Harvest Zone from 100, 200, 250 & 300 Yards.
All we need now is the Elk to walk out in front of her once we are hunting.

We arrived late afternoon after stopping at Flying-J for filling-up and repairing a rear light. Humidity is high in the low 70F. The place is quite nice but not what we expected after reviewing their website. The advertised free long-distances to US and Canada are only available from two phones, not at the site. Wi-Fi is only free for one computer; you have to pay for a second one. Neat and well designed sites on concrete ...

Nous resterons ici 10 jours en tout et ensuite départ vers le mexique, nous avons pris des arrangements ici au camping, nous laisserons la ...

Le vendredi 7 décembre, tel qu'il avait été planifié, nous prenons la direction de Mission au Texas, notre dernier arrêt avant notre retour au Québec pour la période des Fêtes. On dit « tel qu'il avait été planifié », parce que nous avions bâti notre itinéraire il y a plus d'un an et réservé ce camping il y a six mois parce que nous voulions profiter du tarif mensuel (beaucoup moins dispendieux) pour prendre deux semaines de repos avant de revenir au Québec et aussi ...

... latter two facilities but the bar seems likely!). You can tell it's rich because the Office Registration is closed at weekends.(which by the way means, if I exercise option 2 I'll get 2 nights for the price of 1!) Pop Quiz - When is Easter? PS: At a cumulative 3524 miles my RV is now overdue a service (yet another cost I didn't plan for!) And I still haven't replaced my wing mirror!

... loads of homework for my AS levels to do however we got to travel all over the place including Galveston (Joe's crab shack how do I love thee). Beautiful sunshine and playful kitties were also a bonus :). Plus peggie had baby possums under her porch!!!!

... without being threatening or affronting. [When Margarita sang, I really enjoyed her voice.] They visit this facility regularly and spend hours conversing with the men each time. Over time (each man gets to stay for 3 months) a change takes place. When the guys leave the facility, the change is tested--for some it doesn't stick, others are permanently rehabilitated. Miguel's own personal history seems to help him know ...

Zoobley is officially a world traveler now. The rangers at Lake Casa Blanca State Park informed us that they take their dogs back and forth across the border all the time so we decided to give it a try. One of them even offered to let me borrow her dog's papers. Not wanting to end up in a Mexican jail for impersonating a Schnauzer, I decided to rely on Zoobley's rabies tag. The Mexican border guards didn't seem to look ...
