Travel Writer in McAllen last week with Ernie

WOW!

Those were the travel writer's words over and over again as I showed her the new 17th Street District.

She mentioned that it reminded her of Austin's 6th Street back in the mid 1970's.

Then, we stopped into "The Patio" restaurant. What a great place!!!

Earlier, we toured Quinta Mazatlan, McAllen's World Birding Center. We saw an owl and a woodpecker. Even I was freaking out with our luck!!!

She loved the New McAllen Convention Center!!!

She was amazed at the growth and how safe she felt in McAllen, Texas!!

Of course she really enjoyed the tour guide, namely Ernie Arredondo.
What a GREAT GUY!!!!
