Sunday Breakfast

As the Winter season winds down, more and more Winter Texans are leaving here and heading back North. Many have already left. Many more are leaving next week, most it seems on Monday or Tuesday.


So, as a last get together with our neighbors, we decided to go out for "Sunday Breakfast" at an old hotel in Weslaco, Texas, the next town in The Valley East of here. This hotel on the main street of old downtown Weslaco had been left to deteriorate and had many broken windows. But, several years ago, new owners restored it to it's original Old Texas architecture. It's a beautiful four story brick building.








It boasts a formal dining room available for receptions, weddings, etc. This dining room has a large fireplace . . .


















. . . opens out on to a large courtyard and, at one end, has a bar that just reeks of Old Texas.


















But, we didn't rent the dining room. We had breakfast in the restaurant part of the hotel, which was also very tastefully renovated.













Twelve of us squeezed into two tables, Winter Texans all . . . one couple from Iowa, 3 couples from Missouri, and one couple from Ontario . . . and, of course, Carole and I from Kansas.


















Carole is obviously enjoying her ham and cheese omelet. But, all of our breakfasts were very good.














A last "Sunday Breakfast" with our neighbors here in Palm Shadows RV Park. It will be a little sad to say goodbye to the many friends we have made here this Winter. But then, perhaps we'll be back here next Winter. Like all good Winter Texans, we have already made our reservation for next year.
