We came to Halingen, TX on a quest for warm air and sunshine. The first couple of weeks were very nice, great in fact for riding the bike, playing pickleball, and other outdoor activities. Unfortunately I was sick for those two weeks, and Duane was sick for one of them. When we were feeling better, clouds moved in for another 1 1/2 weeks bringing fluctuating temperatures, various levels of humidity and rain, and strong winds. We managed to get in one bike ride and meet friends for a short (2 hour) riverboat tour of the Rio Grande River. Other days we had some outdoor chores and repairs to make. Now that we have only 5 days left here, we are trying to figure out when to make a trip to South Padre Island. The last time we were there (7 or 8 years ago), a cold wind blew so hard that we were scoured with sand. Now that nice weather is forecast we want to make the 80 mile round trip while we can. We're hoping to do that tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
Louise and Duane

All the years we have visited the Valley, we have never visited South Padre Island. But, we drove down one time when we were in Houston and spent the night. I have no idea what we did or saw. Too many years ago and too old to remember.
