Back in McAllen

I was up in Port Clinton near Cleveland, Ohio this week. It's a beautiful area, with trees just starting to turn colors- something we don't see much of down here. I came home to a temperature of 70 degrees, and rain! When I left here a few days ago it was 30 degrees warmer.
Anyway, as beautiful as Ohio was, I found myself talking about McAllen a lot- about the arts, the birding (of course, since I was with a group of birders), the friendliness of the people (actually, others were talking to ME about that!), the low cost of living, and how wonderful the winters are.
There really is no place like McAllen.
