#41 Alamo, TX 11-22-2008

Here we are back again where we left in January of 2008. We were welcomed like old friends coming home. No wonder we like to be here. The palm trees at the gate welcome us, the sun is out, the weather is warm. We arrived on Saturday and by Monday morning Dixie was in the swimming pool.

Our friends Alice and Don were here waiting for us. We even got a space right next door to them. It is cocktail hour and we are all enjoying our drinks.It has been almost a year and a half that we have been traveling and living together in our motor home. And yes, we are still speaking to each other as pictured below.

I think we are starting a tradition. Our first meal in Alamo was at the local Mexican restaurant, just like last year. Then Monday we headed for Progresso, Mexico to have fried shrimp at the local hangout for Winter Texans. The waiter took our picture, and you can see we are living it up eating shrimp basket dinners.

The little boy below, was playing the drum while his dad played the guitar. Both were just walking down the street. But, he was so cute we had to take his picture.Frank, Don and I all got our shoes shined. Juan has been there a long time and has a good reputation. He did an excellent job of shining our shoes. He charges $2.00 and people wait in line.Frank also got a haircut while in Progresso. The barber did such a good job on Frank that I got my hair cut too. It was a really good day in Progresso. The weather was great and everyone there are always glad to take the "Winter Texan's" money.
