 |
| Lake Medina RV Resort #55 |
 |
| Lunch I fixed yesterday...Hamburger patty, sautéed onions, bell pepper and asparagus...mozzarella and cheddar cheese, melted on top.... |
Then it's on to Zapata! Great to meet up with the gang...All eight of us laughed it up and enjoyed the guys making fun of each other remembering old high school days...the girls, of course, were Angels in high school...
I never imagined that all the time we were visiting, I was being chewed on by mosquitos! 28 bites...Talk about miserable! And I have an allergic reaction...
We stayed there two days, enjoying our time with our friends...touring Zapata...seeing drug lords mansions...listening to stories about all the headless bodies washing up on shore...(NOTE: Our RV camp is right on the lake). Gunboats patrol, border agents galore...drones. We spoke to a retired agent here in town who says the border patrol agents are quitting faster than they can be hired...so much death and extremely dangerous. BUTT...our friends insist they are safe where they are.
We stayed two days and headed back north to Medina Lake RV Resort outside of Lakehills, Texas. I booked it for a week so we could visit with our other "pack" of friends (another 8 of us) who love to meet up at a Mexican restaurant called La Cabana, for breakfast, four days a week. I love visiting but the four times a week...guess you get use to it.
Tom and Bev came to see us at the RV park and were charged $8 dollars just to get in to see us??? Boy, that's a never! I quickly gave Bev the eight dollars back and vowed to alert others who do not know about this rule. I could not find it, anywhere in my reservation papers.
We cut a day off the RV park reservation to head back to Waco. I needed medical attention and antibiotics. As we entered town, Larry drove the motor home and parked it right in front of the urgent care clinic and I walked right in. PA took one look at all the swelling and redness and wrote out the prescriptions. Done...Went to the pharmacy...then, finally, home! I was SO glad to finally get some rest and relief from the incessant itching. It all was finally over yesterday...Ahhhhh.....
So that's the end of another Donna Saga....God knows what it'll be, next time.
Coming to visit you and praying you all had better luck...

Yikes, sounds like you need to pack spray, an essential while camping. They pester me terrible so I always have it with me.
Wow, I've never seen anyone get bit like that by mosquitos. How horrible.
That really bites, doesn't it?
Yikes! That looks so itchy and painful! My daughter is allergic to bug bites too, so I know what you are going through. Be sure to ice it next time until you can get to a dr.
That sounds like some bad camping experiences! Yikes! $8 to visit?? Maybe they are having problems with groups gathering...but still, they should make the policy well known.
Glad you are home safe!
Ooo girl! Those bites are awful! I can just imagine how much they itched! Love the rest of the pics and I'm glad you escaped Lurch!!
Oh boy! Lurch sounds quite interesting! Isn't it amazing ... the people you meet on the road?? I will MISS that!! I am so glad you are enjoying yourself...with the exception of the BITES! YIKES!! Donna!! Be careful...hope you are feeling much better!! xo
See, this is why the most outdoorsy thing I do is sit out by the pool, or walk a cemetery. I just hate bugs. Mosquitoes LOVE ME and I get attacked at dusk out by the pool, and whatever lives in the grass eats my ankles alive if I walk a cemetery at any time of day during the hot/warm months (which is most of them). Even so, I've never seen anything like your ankle, from mosquito bites! I can only imagine your suffering. And sorry but I could NOT close my eyes and sleep in an area rife with drug cartel activity. I'm just not up to that. I'm glad you're back at home!!! Lie on the couch and eat snacks and watch Netflix, now there's a good girl. xoxoxoxo
Oh no, Donna. Not fun with all those bites; glad you're okay now. Jase and I are the only ones the bugs LOVE!
Other than that, sounds like a good trip.
xoxo
OMG that's way to many mosquito bites in one place! Of course you'd swell up!! Ouch. Now I'm itching! Love your other photos though.
Did you not use Deet????
And those friends of yours, living near drug lord territory, are living in La La Land, if they feel safe. Plus, they make light of it. -sigh-
What a mess, the border is. And Congressional Goof-Balls won't let the President build the wall, he wants.
Oh no, your poor foot! I hope the next Donna Saga doesn't involved injuries of any kind. Love your photos, especially the old truck! Please take care of yourself. HUGS!
