Big Bend is a huge beautiful desert park. The weather was great while we were here, except or the last day when the wind blew ferociously.
We drove, and then walked to some very neat, natural hot springs and soaked by the River.
Drove up a large mountain and had a geat lunch at the park restaurant. The change in the landscape was dramatic and beautiful
What do singing Mexicans, copper wired beaded ornaments and painted walking sticks have in common? They are all part of visiting the Rio grande river at the Bouqullios canyon. This is one of the places where the border between USA and Mexico is the river.
The canyon is beautiful. The river at this point is more like a large creek. There is a small Mexican village across the river. The Mexicans put out there wares on the path to the canyon, with a small plastic bottle for money if you want to buy anything, and a sign that indicates that the money is for a school. We were told that the people come over in the night to pick up the money. However the day we visited The Mexicans were on the US side of the border and were aggressive with wanting us to buy. We both felt slightly uncomfortable. The border patrol is everywhere down here as the border is easy to cross.
Big Bend is a great place to visit.
