Touring About - Nov 14

Sunny. Went to Sears this morning - George needed a tool. Surprise, surprise.



Then went for a drive along the Rio Grande. We found a great little park which is free on weekdays, $3.00 on the weekend. I saw an armandillo in the wild. He ( she? ) was just toddling along, paused to pose for a few pictures, and toddled off .





Within the park, is an international dam crossing between Mexico and US. Lots of wire and signs posted.





However, the Rio Grande is a little wider than a roadway and there are boat ramps on both sides. Getting across into Mexico, or vice versa would be really easy!!

And we saw the original Mission church built by the Oblate Fathers ( sounds like the other Mission).

It's about 3:00 here, and the temp is over 90' with a breeze. A cold front is coming in tonight, so tomorrow it should only be in the 70's. Just got back, and am eating leftovers from Red Lobster for lunch.
