Saturday we pulled out of Guadalupe State Park and headed on down toward Mission TX for the next month. What a beautiful park. Too bad the weather didn't cooperate. It was cold and rainy for most of the time, so we had little time to sit outside. We did spend Thanksgiving with family nearby and that was a bonus!
We traveled as far as Alice TX and stayed in a Walmart parking lot for the night, a first for us. We met some nice folks who were also on their way to Mission TX. In the morning we picked up some trash in the area before we made the last leg to south TX.
whole lotta nothing, but we did see this cloud along the way.
Once we got to Mission, we managed to get into our space and the best space it was! Right at the entrance to the birding park on the edge of the park. It was a great place to walk the dogs, check out the birds and one day I saw dozens of green birds fly over.
I found out they are green Parakeets. So beautiful!
I checked out the place and it had a great clubhouse and amazing kitchen!
We were parked right next to a bird sanctuary and one little bird decided to torment the pets...

| Ants getting ready for winter. |
I've gone to a lot of grocery stores, but never saw this. I've enlarged it - can you guess what they are.

| Pig heads. You won't even find these at Wegmans! |
Or this? I never did find out. In south Texas, the grocery stores have a lot of food I've never heard of. Some of it is Pennsylania Dutch, like intestines (stuffed tripe) and brain (sweetbreads), but the rest, I'm not familiar with.
Ok I'm done for now. Signing off for now. Be back tomorrow with more from Mission TX!
