Across the Border and quality pool time

Sunday Dec 17: Fred and Kim Galan picked us up for a trip across the border.  We parked on this side of The Bridge and then walked across.

Being that it was Sunday there was not a lot of people.  The Dentist and Doctors offices were all closed and some of the street vendors were not there. We shopped a bit, stopped for a drink

then had lunch at the Red Snapper.  Our food was all good.  Fred had the Shrimp

Eric said his Fish Tacos were fabulous, Kim's Shrimp Tacos were OK, my Mexican plate was good.

It was a fun day visiting with Wisconsin friends.

We did get a new bird The White Collared Seedeater, but no picture

Thursday Dec 21  the shortest day of the year!  We took a nice long walk in the morning, we seen this huge turtle

Afternoon was pool time!

Right now we pretty much own the pool area.  But we suspect that after the 1st of the year it will be more crowded once the park is full of people.
