(Community Matters) Spending Boxing Day cooking and making Boquillas tour arrangements for some of our New Years guests. I think we’ll have 30ish of the 60ish NY guests arriving Saturday to Marathon. We’ll spend Saturday night at the Gage, drive down through Big Bend National Park to the US – Boquillas Border Crossing, ferrying across the Rio Grande, take burros to Boquillas, tour, have green chille enchiladas and cold cervezas for lunch, cross back over, car tour Big Bend, Terlingua, Big Bend State Park, Presidio, then up to Marfa.
community matters
It's about community, entrepreneurs, politics, art . . and sometimes just silly fun . . . a slightly gay blog.Eugene Sepulveda
Love big West Texas skies, Austin and my husband, Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 18 years – thirteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.
