Well I've been a little slow getting back to doing this blog.  We have really enjoyed our stay in Texas.  We've made some new friends and will have fun keeping up with them during the next year.  This deer is one of many we saw at Davis Mountain State Park.  They are so used to campers that they will come right up to you.  Virgil was feeding this one cookies.   I think they are so cute.

Now these guys are not my favorite.  The havelina came in to visit us in the morning.  We looked out our window and they were coming looking for some breakfast.  They do not smell good but the babies can be so cute.  This was actually a good sized one!
We visited this museum with our friend Elaine,  The patio here was all shade and patio stones and set up with benches and places to just sit and enjoy the place.
Many of the displays here were done in separate small buildings.  This one had a lot of minitures.  It is a wonderment to look at and think about all the time it took to make it.
One of many of the beautiful sunrises we had in Del Rio.  Del Rio is a town of little distinction.  It has an Air Force base for training new pilots.. Also it is a border town.  So many people come here just to cross the border for medical,dental, and eye care.. Also can't beat the shopping.  We were  not impressed with the cleanliness of the streets.  They were very small, broken side walks and vendors everywhere.  Our friends Elaine and Ann ate from these vendors, but I was not sure I wanted to do that.  Who knows where their hands had been!!!

Virgil and I did go once, but probably that was our only time.  

Now we are in NM.  It is a campground in a town that is very small sitting at the base of the Cherrichula MT.  We love to take rides there.  We'll go this afternoon.  Who knows what we'll see.

OPS!  forgot to post this picture. It is the Indian display inside the visitor center. Nice, isn't it!

Well, this past week we did a canyon hike with a ranger. Seminole Canyon is known for its pictographs that range in age from 3800 years to 4100 years old.  Is is a short drive off the main highway into the visitor center. They have a great visitor center with nice displays. One is the Indians pictured here  The top picture is what is called the High Bridge. It is where the Pecos River meets the Rio Grande. Very pretty place.

 This is just one of many pictographs in the caves here.
This is the canyon. We enjoyed the hike down into it.  Really a surprise.
This is a sample of what the winds does to the sand stone rocks walls.  It sure is pretty and unique to see. The wind circles up with bits of sand and wears the rock into this intricate designs.
This is a metal sculpture outside the visitor center. Actually a copy of one of the pictographs. This was a fun day and educational too!!!   See we can learn things even when we get old.  The ranger knew her subject.  She was born and lived here all her life.  We could tell she loved her job.

Well hello again from Del Rio.  We made it in and out of Mexico on Sat. with no  problems.  It was an old town. pretty much what you think of when you picture a Mexican town.  Old buildings. small streets, and many people.  This is a mecca for people wanting dentists, eye care, pharmacys and stuff like that.  There were many street vendors selling food and candy and sweets of all kinds.  Shoe shine stands and lots of shops.

We did go to a very nice restaurant for lunch.  Our friends are Ann and Elaine. They live near Dolly Wood at a Outdoor Resorts Park and are  full timer RV'ers..  Good food and fun for all.

This is a picture of the interior of the Mexican Restaurant.  Music also provided with your lunch.

Today was lunch, we eat a lot, at a little place that is only open for lunch.  Great hamburgers and home made soup.  Nice an warm outside so I'm going out to sit in the sun for a while and then make salsa  from all fresh veggies. Tacos for dinner. Food again.

Well, more next time.
