Ahhhhh......2.5 days and 1145 miles....and we have arrived in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas this afternoon. Grey weather with occasional misty rain.......low 60's. Not the best, but definitely not like Misery is experiencing these last few days.
Yesterday we left Texarkan, Arkansas, about 8:30am and arrived in San Marcos, Texas....about 30 miles north of San Antonio around 3:30pm. Checked into an nice rv park....and then immediately we went to this incredibly HUGE outlet mall there. We had been there a few years ago, but it seemed even larger this time. Enjoyed the evening shopping at some wonderful shops/stores there.....I think this outlet mall must be one of the largest of these types of malls in the country......just amazing!!!!
Returning to the rv park, we soon called it a day.....and before too long, it was TODAY:
Again, we left around 8:30 and arrived here in the Valley at 1:45pm......after another 300 miles. It has been a relatively easy trip down here....and we were soon setting up the RV to enjoy as our home for the next two months here. I have some work to do....washing it, waxing it, as well as the truck, but all of this will be done as time permits, as well as the weather. If you have kept with us over the last three winters, you will remember that we love to square dance....and there are many places to do so each day here in the Valley.....and we will do so this week!!!
Of course, we had not been here but a few minutes before friends of ours from Canada were at our site.....hugs and welcomes and big smiles!!!! SUCH great friends......and Doug and Diane are just special people!!!!!! After we had our rig set up.......we then went to their motorhome....and we were guests there for drinks and dinner. AND....some wonderful laughs and conversations as we "caught up" on each other's lives from the past 8 months or so. Doug and Diane stopped in Fredericktown at our stick and brick, parking their motorhome in our driveway overnight as did some winery visiting.....all of this was last April.
And soooo, we are here! Can't wait to see our many friends from across the USA and Canada who have arrived or are going to be coming down this week. More tomorrow when I have a modem as the wifi is very slow for posting pictures.......but, as always.....
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
