weekend in Tejas

Well, as my ankle is healing, I decided to test it a little with a weekend trip. My parents are doing the snowbird thing in south Texas, so last weekend I made a quick trip over to say hi. Having not seen them for a year now because of the wreck, I thought it fitting. Plus, I move no faster than them right now, so we were a good pace for each other. Not a lot to do in the border area, really, but they took me to see the last remaining hand drawn ferry in the US.


After that we went to a little place on the Rio Grande that served lunch and had live music. Apparently it is wildly popular with the snowbird crowd as it was packed. So we had lunch, listened to some music, and enjoyed the nice weather. On Sunday, it was a day of rest watching the NASCAR race, and then out to a good Mexican restaurant they knew of to dine. Not a fast-paced weekend, but just what I needed to get out but not overdo on the ankle. At least it is a start back to traveling, right ?!?!?!
