We have left the beautiful Padre Island National Seashore and wended our way as far as Laredo, TX. We have left an interesting mixture of Winter Texans from Michigan, Wisconsin, Canada and even Oregon. Last Tuesday, we enjoyed a great fish fry provided by 2 of the regular visitors (they come every year) who enjoy fishing all day long. After they have enough fillets in their freezers, they invite all the campground visitors that have been here as least a week to a fish fry. There was approximately 40 people that showed up to enjoy the fare. It was excellent. We even left this AM with a package of fresh caught Whiting fillets. We will have our own fish fry down the road:)
Speaking of on the road, we are going to head back to AZ to do some touring. There are many scenic areas that we want to see and the National Geographic book we received at Christmas (Thank You, Eddie) has whetted our appetite for some of the scenic routes. So, tonight in Laredo, tomorrow night at Amistad Recreational Area near Del Rio and then a run for the border:) It has been a lot of fun in Texas but it's time to leave. We opted to skip visiting our Southern neighbor, Mexico. Just too many mixed signals as to what to expect.

I think the choice to skip the Mexican border towns, esp the one across from Laredo, was the right one. I've been reading a lot of bad news from those parts about drug gang wars. Doesn't seem like something that would enhance your itinerary.
