Huge Burger & Mexico

We left around 9AM this morning to head down to Larry & LaVila which is about a half hour from here. They will be leaving soon and we wanted to make one more trip to Mexico with them. There wasn't too many gringo's there. Not sure if it was because so many Winter Texans have headed north or if it's due to it being Good Friday. Probably a little of both but I did notice that there were more street vendor's gone which is early for this time of year. Anyway I was able to find some little gifts for the great nieces and nephews. Luckily the kids ages are close so I can buy 2 or 3 of the same thing.

Here's a few of the items.

Larry got his last $4.00 hair cut and the $3.00 shoe shine so he's all set. We actually left there without any liquor. Took a inventory of what we have before leaving and I think we're set to host happy hour with the family.

Once we left Mexico we decided to go to Gonzales Burger in Donna TX. The inside is anything but fancy with maybe 8-10 long tables and the decorations consist of deer heads hanging on the walls. The menu is pretty simple, hamburger, cheese burger, bacon burger with all the fixings and the sides are onion rings or french fries. The owners are three sisters and a brother and the outside isn't much better looking than the inside. About the only way you know it's there are from all the cars parked on the street. But every Winter Texan has to hit this place at least once during the season. Don't go there if your in a hurry cause you'll have at least a half hour wait.

Here's basically their kitchen. Look at the size of those burgers.

Larry and I shared this. If this doesn't clog your arteries, nothing will. But it sure is good. Each morning they ground so much meat. They open at 11AM and stay open until the meat is gone. This could be 1:00 or 3:00 you never no. Can't beat the cost, we got the cheeseburger, fries and coke for $7.00.

After lunch we took Larry and LaVila back to their place and said our goodbyes. Hopefully we will see them this summer but if not definitely next fall.

The wind finally calmed down this afternoon. Actually it was dead still and 92 degrees. Gee-sh we sure could have used those strong winds this afternoon sitting outside at happy hour. Like Larry tells me "I'd b***h if I was hung with a new rope". Yup that's me.

We've decided to go home a little earlier this year and will be leaving here the 1st of May. It seems like this season we've been away from family a long time and so we'll brave the possible cold weather and go home early. Hopefully we'll be home around the 4th, depends on how the weather is between here and there. A few times we've had to hunker down and wait for things to clear up ahead of us.

Guess that's it for tonight. Welcome Spring TX and Taylor MI. Till next time............
