Alamo Palms RV Resort

We're here! Sorry I haven't been at the blog in a while, but...............here I am now. We arrived at Alamo Palms RV Resort last Tuesday. It's a nice place (as RV resorts go). Lots and lots of palm trees and lots of cactus growing throughout the park.



There are orange and grapefruit trees growing all over the park from which you are allowed to pick a few at a time.

It's a big park with lots of park model mobile homes and lots of sites interspersed throughout the park that the rv's will slowly fill up as January gets here. They have lots of activities going on in the park, like shuffleboard, bridge, euchre, pool, and exercise things. The thing of it is, I'm not much of a joiner!

The weather has been unbelievable! The days are in the 90s and the nights are in the 70s! Actually, a cold front is supposed to pass through tonight and drop the temperatures down about 10 degrees.

It's a laid back lifestyle here. There's lots to see and do without driving very far. There are a few State Parks that are birding/butterfly centres. We're supposed to be going over to Progresso, Mexico on the 17th (happy birthday Mary!) and then later that week I think we're gonna run over to South Padre Island and check out the beaches, etc.

We've been out looking at some of the other RV resorts for comparison, and we're happy with the resort we're in. We want to check out the State parks and other "camping" facilities. We think we're more "Campers" than we are "RV Resorters".

Anyhow, we're off to Bentsen State Park which is a birding/butterfly/dragonfly viewing park. I'll let ya's know how that went once we're back. Bye for now.
