Winter Trips in the Rio Grande Valley

These are pictures from three trips we took in January 2010. The first trip on Wednesday, January 27 was to the Cowley Sugar House and Mill in Santa Rosa, Texas. We learned about the growing, harvesting and processing of sugar. The second trip was on Thursday the 28th to the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas. We took a behind the scenes tour of the zoo. The final trip was to the Port Isabel Yacht Club Hotel and Restaurant in Port Isabel, Texas. We had dinner and some of us stayed overnight.
