Sunday 1-30-11 Lake Casa Blanco State Park..Laredo TX

It's very hard to believe it's the last days of January. Wow !! We've been on the road since Oct 1st and every mile has been enjoyable. Right now we're camped at Lake Casa Blanco State Park in Laredo TX, the site has a fire ring and a little gazebo to shade the sun..got a view of the Lake and can see the city lights across the lake at night but it's very quiet in the park. Laredo has a winter festival this week called "Jamboozie". Lot's of people around to participate. It's been going on for years..Kinda like Tip-Up-Town without winter or Polar Bear dips..:-).. We tried our luck at fishing yesterday but got skunked..Been able to get a few bike rides in but it's a challenge here due to the hills..but it's fun going downhill..weeeeeee!!! (Should we be having this much fun???)  Another keen observation is that beer at 5PM tastes just as good in Texas as in Michigan.. It almost hit 80F today and we cooked a couple steaks on the grill. Running into town tomorrow to pick up our mail... One of the wierd things about Texas is they hide the liquor stores and cigarette stores, you have to ask the locals for the places to find them. We were listening to a local radio station and the disc jockey said they only play the music our parents hated and now our kids hate it too.!!! We loved his choices.. We pull outa here on Wed AM and head to Del Rio TX and our next great adventure..REMEMBER..LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY..Charlie & Heather
