Culinary Opportunities

The Rio Grande Valley provides many opportunities to eat out. We are always hearing about another "have to try" place to eat. This can be considered either a blessing or a curse. On Thursday we took our friends, Larry and Gloria, to the Riverside Restaurant in Mission, TX for the special of the day, pork tenderloin sandwiches. We didn't warn them in advance about the size of the portions because they probably would not believe us. Of course you can always save the extra for another meal. The restaurant is right on the Rio Grande River and Mexico can be seen across the narrow stretch of river.
While we were eating we saw US Border Patrol agents cruise by in a patrol boat. We also saw two patrol cars just days earlier near the river when we crossed the river bridge into Neuavo Progresso. We appreciate the dedication of these officers who help protect our borders.
