We are, unfortunately, still on hold getting our refrigerator fixed. The cooling unit which was SUPPOSED to be in today was only shipped today from somewhere in Indiana. It will take yet another week for the part to arrive. We are very disappointed and want to get this issue settled. It has been frustrating, to say the least, dealing with the Norcold company. I hope to never ever have another product made by them.

This is our day off, so we did laundry and then decided to go out to Langtry, TX, twenty miles west, to the Judge Roy Bean Center, where our friend Miguel now works. In addition to the bar in the picture, which also served as Judge Roy Bean's courtroom, we toured the newly added Opera House, which also served as his home. It is still being finished and was an adobe house covered with stucco, inside and out. We also toured the garden of desert plants and saw all the improvements that Miguel has made since he transferred there. The lizard in the picture didn't seem too upset at the humans in his world, and I was able to get a couple of snapshots of him before he scampered off.

After a good visit with Miguel, we drove south down a little dirt road toward the Rio Grande. I couldn't resist taking pictures of the bluffs and also the scenery toward the west, as seen in the second picture. I really wish there was some way to capture the beauty of this country in a photograph, but I think a painting is about the only way to do that. Unfortunately, I can't even draw a straight line, so it couldn't be me that does the painting!

On the way back, I took the picture of the Pecos River, looking south toward the Rio Grande. The bridge is under construction-repair, and currently is a one lane bridge, high above the Pecos. There is a stoplight at either side of the bridge and a sign warns that there may be up to a 4 minute wait. The other side of the bridge is still under construction. It's a little bit scary going over that bridge.

It has been extremely humid here today. It's really not that hot (only 83 degrees), but when you step outside, your glasses fog up and you feel like you're in a sauna. I'm ready for a cool-off! We did get some rain the other night. We're happy because the burn ban has been lifted in Val Verde County, so the campers can have campfires.

Tomorrow is our weekly trip to Del Rio for groceries. We had hoped to be taking the RV in for the final repair on the fridge! Hope to have more pictures for you soon.
