Travels from Casa Grande

We left Casa Grande on Thursday morning the 27th. Because of all our goodbyes, we didn't 'get on the road again' until around 11 a.m.
We were headed to Rio Hondo, TX, and arrived here on June 1.
We are visiting our friends, Marge & Jim.
Marge is recovering from chemotherapy for leukemia and doing well. She looks real cute with her new hair growth.
We saw the mold for the Iwo Jima statue. One of the soldiers in it was from Rio Hondo, and it sits out front of a military school.
On Wednesday, we went to South Padre Island. We drove from one end to the other - it's a small island. While there, we went to a sea turtle rescue operation. We were amazed at the size of sea turtles - they are huge. As you'll see in our pictures, there were a lot of rescued turtles missing a flipper. This organization rescues these turtles, rehabs them, & tries to return them to the ocean. They also protect sea turtle eggs, and the newborn turtles.
Then, we walked around the pier area in Port Isabel.
The weather here has been in the 90's and humidity in the 60's.
