Well we spent the month of Jan. in Harlingen TX again and the weather was great. I had several days at the pool and Jack was playing golf twice a week. Of course we went to the dentist in Progresso again and yeah no cavities. I lived on Rio Red Grapefruit, they grow them in the valley and they are the best. I found out about this hamburger place so we had to check it out. It is Gonzales Market (market because that way they save on taxes or something). Anyway they own their own processing plant and patty up the fresh burgers daily. When they sell them all they lock up. In the winter ( snowbird season) they sell about 300 lbs. of meat a day and in the summer only 30 - 60 lbs a day. The burgers are huge, larger around than a whopper and thicker. The meat is lean and very good. They cook them as you order but the line is usually out the door. They cost a whopping $3.45 and .40 to add cheese, for an extra buck you get another patty of meat. You can get fries and onion rings and that is the extent of the menu.
We left Harlingen on Jan. 31 and headed to Big Bend Nat'l Park. We did a little back and forth when we had engine trouble but it turned out to be minor and we made it to the park anyway. I am glad we did as it turned out to be a good trip. We did a bit of hiking and lots of sightseeing.
