More and more people are leaving the park here to return home. Most of these folks seem almost as fearful of the summer heat here as they are of the winter cold back home. The weather is still nice with temperatures in the 80's in the daytime and 60's at night. Overall, it is not at all uncomfortable.
Yesterday we went on a boat ride up the Rio Grande river. It was on a 50 foot pontoon boat and lasted two hours. It was interesting, but the scenery changed very little for the twelve miles that we traveled. The water level ranged from 5 feet to about 40 feet. There is very little development along the river except close to one of the towns. There are a few private river cabins and RV's but nothing else. There are much nicer developments on the mexican side than on the US side. Of course, we only saw a few miles close to Mission. We did see some South-To-North traffic across the river at one spot. While we were waiting for the boat ride, we ate lunch at the resturant at the place where the boat leaves from. It is called the Riverside Club.
On Thursday, we went to an orange grove where they had "you pick or we pick". We chose to let them pick. The oranges that we got were Valencia which is the only variety that is still in season.
