Month: January 2020

Lake Casa Blanca (translated to Lake White House) in Texas is large and very beautiful.

It has camping, fishing, trails, and more. The weather has been in the mid to the high 70s unless raining. We rode our bikes around to the mission on the lake – a bit run down and fascinating.

It was a good day for the ride and site seeing.

We continue to stay in the warmer weather. Laredo has been in 60 to 70s, with light winds and beautiful skies. We went to the lake here at the park and walked the beach a little.

Then we saw the Palm trees too.

It is quiet and warm. Very close to Mexico. Se hebla? Or do you speak Spanish? Loredo has a line down the middle called the Rio Grande River, On one side is the USA and the other is Mexico. Lots to see an do here too;

Another cloudy day so we decided to go to Sonora TX to see the Senora Cave. The trip was so exciting and the landscape was flat. Like living in a Zane Gray novel.

The cave was really dark and very humid and hot. we went down 155 feet and a mile and a half long. They had 350 steps to walk down and up. They also had animals in the area and an RV park. Maybe next time we can stay here. The sites were beautiful.

We had a lot of fun, a 2 hour tour of the cave and sites.

After the severe weather last night, we survived with no damage, so we headed out for Del Rio, TX. It was a short ride with lots of cactus and shrubbery.

The RV Park in Del Rio TX, was better then we thought ad they have a lit of cats – feral cats everywhere. They are so cute. There is about 10 and probably more there then we have seen. So the fun begins.

Since the weather is so warm we have been able to ride the Aerial Electric Bikes a little. It helps my arthritis and provides an assist if I need it. Berny is much better on them then I am but we can ride around the park since it is so large and get a good run in.

We did a day trip to Corpus Christi, TX yesterday and had a blast. We saw the retired Ship USS Lexington. It was high as all aircraft carriers are and the history as great to read about. The weather was in the 70s and I even got a little sunburn in the process.

We also got to see the beach in the western Gulf and a dolphin.

Another year passes and a new decade starts. It was a quiet New Year’s Eve for us. The weather was grey and dull and rain started on Jan 1. Hope everyone has a safe and great year in 2020.
