One more week in Retama ! ?

Wow, it seems like we just arrived here, but is has been 4 months !  We have one more week here and then we are off to Llano Texas to party with some of our friends that we met on the Cruise in December.  We have been keeping very busy.  As I mentioned in earlier posts, we have been Mountain biking a lot.  Here are some pics from last Monday........................

Zoooooom !  Down rabbit Hole Hill !

It is way steeper than it looks and you really get flying down it !

Rest time !

Even Bren takes time to smell the roses ?  Texas Rose !

We have also been shooting our .40 Cal S&W, M&P Semi Automatic at the gun range.

Proper stance, Looks Good !

I thought I would model our target.  Pretty good shooting !

This last Thursday it was a HOT one.  We broke the local records and registered 100 Degrees !!

But, we know how to handle the heat !

Drinks by the Pool !

Today we went to the Wesleco Onion Festival.  I am sure you all have had a Bloomin' Onion or one of the other facsimiles, well this is where it was invented back in the 50's.  It seems that a farmer came up with a strain of white onion that would grow fast here in the Valley.  They even have a sweet taste to them.  There was a car show, a carnival, Stages with bands, and these Dancing Mexican Azteca Horses.............................

They were very cool.  The riders did nothing with there hands.  It was all done by adjustments in the saddle and and by squeezing there legs.  Very cool to see.

Ok, time to wrap up....................and a shameless plug............. Popeye's Chicken.  Our Friends Shannon and Debbie hooked us on this chicken when we were staying with them in Surfside Beach and we just can't shake it !  We think they put crack in the batter.  If you have never tried it and all along you thought KFC was good, try it !  Yesterdays dinner .................................

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM !!!

There is a Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.....................

More to come....................................
