A visit to Roma

Yesterdays decision was to take a road trip to the northeast rather than stay in the park for the afternoon meal. I just couldn't get my head around a Christmas meal of meatballs, which was the planned entree for the park's dinner. There was a rumor that Barney and Billy Bob had located themselves at Falcon Heights park so off I went. When I arrived I found that Billy Bob was still there and we had a nice visit, but Barney had pulled out and relocated. So I headed back toward Mission.

 On the way back I stopped at Roma and took a few pictures of this historic border town located on the banks of the Rio Grande river. Roma was founded in 1770 and here are some the sights from the historic district.












This morning started with a phone call from Roger and Donna that they were on their way to the Valley from Zapata with Harley and Annis in tow. They were headed to the Donna/Ana flea market but wanted to have breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. I joined them and we had a nice breakfast and visit before the headed on to shop for fleas.

The rest of my day will be in the relax mode as I absorb all the enjoyment of the good life.

    Glad to see you're keeping the tires on your PT from getting flat spots. ;c)

    That's the perfect time to check out the sights. When no one else is there you can see everything you want to see without the crowds. The town definitely looked deserted but a nice day for a drive.
