We are no longer Snowbirds, here we are referred to as Winter Texans. I took Trish to Mexico for Valentine's Day, we walked across the border in Roma, Texas, it was a weird experience, costs 50 cents to walk across a bridge, across the Rio Grande and when we reached for our passports, they said that was not necessary, just carry on! Federales' everywhere, sub-machine guns at the ready and armoured cars, they wouldn't let us take pictures of them! We walked the streets, Valentines stuff for sale everywhere, on the bridge itself while the cars are held up for inspection returning to the states, people roam between the cars selling everything, hats, food, novelties, CD's , cleaning windsheilds, and a guy in wheelchair shaking his can! We sat in the town square and just soaked up the sun and the culture, an Indian family danced in the streets, their costumes were so colourful! Then we had 5 cold Corona and tacos , all for ten bucks!, Unbelieveable! We are going back again, just for the cheap Corona! Coming back into the US, we had to show our passports,no money required! Trish makes better Tacos.
