Tuesday, 3 January 2017: South Padre Island, Texas

We made an appointment for Gemma in Harlingen at 10:00am so we were on the road rather early.  We talked to a vet tech yesterday in South Padre Island and she made me anxious about the process so when things went without a hitch with Dr. Rangel in Harlingen, I was very pleased.  Gemma is in good health and ready to travel. 

We drove around Harlingen exploring for a while.  I needed to go to the library to print the car insurance documents and I was so surprised to see several Remington's in this sleepy town's public library.  Lots of money here for sure.  We had the lunch special at a little Mexican diner where the enchiladas was one of the best I'd ever eaten.  Later in the afternoon Justin got a haircut at the local barber school.  After a quick trip to the local HEB we headed to our hotel where we had time to sit out by the pool and soak up some sunshine before happy hour. 

Prima (cousin) Mike is on his way.  He was hoping to get south of Dallas today and then meet us in Laredo tomorrow.  That is two days of hard driving for him.  We talked to him a couple of times during the day.  I'll be happy to finally meet up with him as we head to Monterrey.  It has taken a while for our plans with Mike to solidify but we are finally on our way.
