Day 7 to Brownsville, TX

More west Texas driving….which is to say boring. I’m so glad I got the XM/Sirius radio prior to leaving…it makes these stretches easier to handle.

I’ve come to realize I’m sure I’m more interested in a smaller community as Brownsville is over 190k plus and Harligen is a bedroom community of 81k…so they are pretty spread out together.

The good news about today is a good Mexican seafood bar and grill. The food was good but this…

This is called a ballena (referring to it being as big as a whale). I guess they go by other names in other parts of Mexico.

The end of the day was capped by a trip to the liquor store across from my hotel. The had my favorite brand of rye whiskey Sagamore. But they had two other variations I’d never seen before, so my good friend Nils will get to enjoy opening the bottle together.
