This morning, Daniel finished the safe driver course to get a discount on our car insurance. It was time intensive and only marginally worth the discount we received.
We explored downtown Harlingen, TX and found a lot of secondhand clothing stores. One store in particular had an amazing assortment of designer clothes, clothes that sparkled, jewelry, and home goods.
We also stopped at the library which had an amazing fenced in courtyard.

We tried joining a “walk” at the campground but it was an exercise class with yoga mats so we weren’t interested. Instead, we took the boys for a walk. Then we relaxed most of the day. Doing nothing is cathartic.

Today we had another relaxing day. Daniel and I both have lengthy to-do lists so we appreciated taking the time to get some things done. We tried going to an ice cream social but they did not have any non-dairy options. So we ended up in the hot tub and made our own “nice cream” using frozen bananas, almond milk, chocolate, and peanut butter.

This morning we got up early and did a beginners trail dance class. Trail dancing is couples line dancing and we had a lot of fun learning the dances and meeting new people. Everyone is so friendly down here. We learned the dance for Two Shots of Crown.
We also made sure Daniel’s computer works with the projector for tomorrow’s presentation, bought tickets for a concert on Wednesday, and asked the wood shop if they would help me make something.
We went to Estero Llano Grande State Park in Weslaco, TX which is known for bird watching. We learned that people eat yucca flowers and the flowers are so popular in Mexico that people will just chop them down wherever they find them even if it means stealing from someone’s yard. We don’t condone theft but this seems like a more wholesome illegal activity.
Next we stopped in Hidalgo, TX to see the world’s largest killer bee. This town decided to embrace the U.S. arrival of the killer bee in 1990. Africanized honey bees aren’t more venomous than the average bee but they are more aggressive and will attack in droves.
We also went to McAllen, TX and stopped at the library. We love checking out local libraries. Daniel reads magazines and I look for vegan cookbooks I haven’t seen before.
