Another Day here


We decided to stay at this park another day. We love the butterfly garden. It was begun 3 yrs ago by the camp hostess, who used to be an English teacher. It now has 514 types of butterflies; 5 rare species and 2 rare species of moths. The black butterflies are huge. They also have a butterfly that is about 6 inches across. It is nocturnal, but you find them in the tree branches during the day.
The folks at the restaurant are so friendly, and today they made us biscuits and gravy for breakfast. It was delicious, but the servings are big enough to feed three people.
Yesterday we came into Roma to use the computers, but the library was closed due to the election. It is not easy to find an internet connection in these south Texan towns. Most citizens in Roma are Mexican and the signs on the stores are in Spanish only. There is a border crossing here and all along the highway you see border crossing guards checking for illegals attempting to cross over.
There are no more state parks from here to Brownsville, but apparently 500 RV parks. It seems to be a popular stretch to winter in. Guess that is where I will find myself shortly. Brenda has another 10 days here...I will sure miss her when she leaves.
