DEL RIO-The City Of....Part 3.







I didn't take many pictures IN Del Rio because I was always holding the map and telling Gene where to go.
1. A pretty church.
2.&3. San Felipe Springs, the 4th. largest in Texas. There are 10 or more springs spread over a mile along the creek. It reminded us ALOT of the San Marcos River.
4. Gene checks the water temp....nice and not as cold as the SMR which is 72.
5. Another part of the springs/creek.
6. The house we are going to rent. It's very much like the house we owned in Kyle, TX before we moved out here to Pecos.
Other FAQ's:
Wolfman Jack broadcast from Del Rio in the 60's and 70's from AM XERF.
Del Rio has an international airport. It's continental Airlines that comes in from Houston.
There is a winery there and it's the oldest privately owned (still operating) winery in the U.S.
Amtrak Train-The Sunset Limited goes thru Del Rio back and forth from Los Angeles to San Antonio and then to New Orleans.
