Like It or Not, We Are In Houston!

This is the view out the back of our rig.  I don't know how Kirby did it but he got us parked in this very crowded space!

We are in a town called League City, TX.  It is just part of the sprawl of Houston.  We have always had a hard time liking Houston but for us there was a big draw and we had no choice but to be here.  Our very dear friend, Virginia, lives here and we just had to see her.  No choice in the matter.  She is a very important person in our lives so here we are in the middle of urban sprawl!

We are sitting at Space Center RV Park.  Not a first choice - but the only choice if we wanted to be anywhere near our friend.  The little roadways/alleys are very narrow but the spaces are unbelievably narrow.  The people next to us have their slides out and we are only about 8 feet from their slide.  And there are many people here - it is packed.  Lots and lots of people LIVE here as permanent residents.  I don't know how they can stand it.  But on the upside, the management was very nice, helpful and friendly.  The showers and bathrooms are individual, not a wide open free for all.  And - the laundry was the least expensive we have seen!  So of course I had to do a couple of loads today.  Oh, and no mud!!!!!  Yea!  Paved and grass!  Love that!

So, yesterday, after getting settled in, we found our way to Virginia's Assisted Living home and spent some time there with her before bringing her back here so that she could see our new lifestyle.  We first me Virginia when we were all in Mazatlan, Mexico on our boats back in the 90's.  Then when we lived in San Diego, she and her husband, Jay, (deceased) lived in the Baja of Mexico and we got together regularly.  When Jay passed away, Virginia moved to Texas to be near her family.

Ah, and then supper time found us at a wonderful Mexican Restaurant!  Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant may not be THE very BEST but let me tell you, for us former SoCal folks, it was awesome and then some!! After living in South Carolina for almost 6 years we were in dire need of good Mexican food.  We both ate way too much but I didn't care!

This is me with Virginia.  I love her so much!
