Well settled in to Amigo Park, in Zapata, Texas. Oranges and pink grapefruit to be picked right outside our door, temps in the 80's everyday. Other than enjoying the Sun, and listening to Cove FM from Eastern Passage at home, radios here pretty well only speak Spanish, we can only once again rave about the cost of living  here compared to home.  Wine is three dollars a liter instead of $10.00 at home, 30 beer is  $20.00 instead of 50.00 at home, groceries are two-thirds , the best of BBQ steak is half what it is home, our camping site is $6.00 per day compared to $25.00 at home. Gas is one third of cost at home, add 26 cents on every Cdn dollar we spend and you still come out far ahead.   For our six dollars a day we get free wi-fi and free TV. The games room in the clubhouse has a shuffleboard, we are enjoying that!
