The Rio Grand Valley, this feels like home


I can't figure it out but somehow this feels like home for this Old Canuck.

Yesterday we left from Victoria, TX, came down Hwy 77 past Corpus Christie towards Brownsville.  We've unhooked for a few days in Harlingen TX, about 40 miles from our winter place in Pharr.

The water heater in our rig has given us trouble since it was new so we're getting it replaced.  Valley Traveland here in Harlingen will be doing it for us.  The new tank is coming from Indiana and should be here in a day or two.  In the interim we're suffering with the air conditioners running full speed. and that hot Rio Grande Valley Wind blowing like it always does.  That wind reminds me of summer in Manitoba.

The trip down was just over 6000 kms, 3600 + miles for our USA friends.  It was just great, we saw and did so much.  The problem is I want to spend more time, much more, in most of those places and we can't.  Bernie has decided New Orleans is a "back there" place, so one day that will happen.  Next time New Orleans will be at least a week, maybe two.  It's so amazing.

We're thinking next fall we'll go further East, then S. into Florida, down to the Keys and then back across the top of the Gulf to Texas.  Hmmmm, I guess we should finish this trip before I start planning the next one.  Oh well, it keeps life interesting.

Gotta go, we're off to sight see a bit of Harlingen and get some food into the RV.

Have a super day, thanks for stopping by, and please do leave a comment when you can.
