Del Rio, Texas???
 

Who has been there, what to do?

It's a sleepy border city of about 40,000. IMO, it's nicer than the larger border cities of Brownsville or Laredo.

As for things to do, there's the Amistad Recreation Area and a couple of museums.

On our local news weather map, it's often one of the hottest places in Texas. Since you're coming from IAH, you probably won't mind that so much. :)

My siter lived there for several years....as far as I know Lake Amistad was the big deal in town.

Yep, checked out those websites already. I'm riding my motorcycle there from Houston. Want to knock out a few distance rides before I go overseas again. Just did SAT last week. Stayed at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort.

I may cross the border and check out that bar where El Mariachi and Desperado were filmed. I hope nobody shoots the place up :cool: Maybe I'll run into Cheech and Antonio :D

If you're going that far and can spare the time, you should consider heading farther out west to check out Big Bend. There's some beautiful country out there. :cool:

Yep, but not this trip. BB is indeed some of the best motorcycle riding terrain in the country.

Thanks,

P.S. I hope this rain lets up by next Monday.
