What a tease.

Hey, if you are going to be in McAllen, you'll only be about 3 hours from me - and from Sparkle and tomorrow Karen gets here with her friend Carol. Forget McAllen and see if you can come up here! We're going to see Elvis tomorrow afternoon. (Not sure if there are sites available - but because of the bad weather, I'm guessing there are some). Karen will be here till Friday - so if you can't make if for Elvis - would love if you could meet up with some of us. And I know Sparkle and I want to talk to you about MX! And just meet ya!

I got a little feeling of sorrow that you were leaving Mexico, but I am being selfish. You've done a wonderful job of entertaining and educating us about Mexico. what a trip it has been. Thank you!

Looks like a lot of history there, Carol. Love noodling thru stuff like that. Looks like a lot of restoration has been done. Gonna miss your travelogue, tho. Where are you guys heading now, after McAllen? Sure would be fun if you could meet up with some of the crew in Aransas.
