Monday, February 15, 2016 Sunset Cruise on the Rio Grande

Today was a hot one.  The temperature got up to 90 degrees with very little breeze but I have to be happy that it isn’t cold.  Mike and I are taking a sunset cruise down the Rio Grande River.  The sun started to set and the temperature began to decline.  The water on the river was very peaceful and calm.  This river separates the USA and Mexico.  As we continued down the river we could see all kinds of border patrols as this happens to be a popular area for people to cross.  They do catch on a average of 1000 Mexicans trying to come into the USA every month.

We were able to see some wildlife as we ventured down the river and the sunset was very impressive.

Nice evening spent on the water with Ron and Linda.
