Today, we decided to tour Goliad with the self-guided brochure from the Chamber of Commerce. We are back in Goliad walking the same street as a few days ago, but this time we read about the houses and business around the square.
We also visited the small museum of Goliad.
This is an indoor toilet. It is also modern, read the information on the photo below.
Very ingenious.
We do not know what this big contraption is.
Lucky for us the man looking after the museum knows. Here it is, back when they had no electricity in town, the doctor needed electricity to run his X-ray machine. By turning the glass wheels in the box, you create electricity.
We have never seen a fan like this one. You light-up the lamp on the bottom and the heat generated goes up the chimney and makes the fan rotate.
Usually you need a fan to cool off, but with this one, you need heat to cool off???
This is the Goliad flag during the Texas revolution.
This is a nice little museum. We have seen better and we have seen worst. The admission is a donation.
The weather is not very good, light drizzle all day, but with a nice 25 C. No complaint.
The weather forecast is calling for severe thunderstorms for tonight.

WOW! Starting at noon, we are under a severe thunderstorm warning! We got heavy rain, but all the thunderstorms went around us.
Some of the rain we got!
It is somewhat of hard to see, but it was coming down hard.
Two hours later, it is all over.
Our site.
This is not a pretty sunset, but the sky is clearing up fast.

We are on our way to the Rio Grande valley, really close to Mexico.
A zebu, in Texas, a Zebu?!?! This animal is from south Asia.
We drive through a region called Brush Country.
We are in the Rio Grande valley, now the traffic will start!
It is very hot today!
All morning we tried to call the RV Park Bit-O-Heave, but no answer.
Therefore, we just showed up un-announced.
The office is closed on the weekend.
After a little time, we got a hold of one of the camp host and got a site for a month.
We have site 813.
For photos of our site, it will be in a few days I think.
With a temperature of +31 C. or 87 F. We go to the pool!
It was time to hit the water
The pool is at 90 F.
We stayed over two hours in the pool.
Of course, we meet some of the other Winter Texan.

As usual after pulling the car, time to hit the car wash.
A little Squidgy...
Our car finally went over 100,000 kilometers or a little over 62000 miles.
I am sure many of you wonder if this includes the kilometers pulled behind the motorhome! The answer is no. No kilometers are recorded by the car odometers.
One day, I will have to do the total of both numbers and see what are the real kilometers of the car.
It is time to become Winter Texan at least for a month or two or three!
We celebrate this with a good raclette.
A toast to us!
A toast to all who cannot be with us.
I finally caught up to my blog's update.
In a few days we will be going to Mexico and check out the dentist. I need to finish the work they started last winter and install the two post and crowns.
Until next time.
Life is good!
