South of the border

Hey Frio River fans
Sorry for the long delay between posts. I'm not going to make that a habit, cuz I know you want/need updates more often. We are finally in a more normal summer pattern, with the temps in the 90's, and lots of sunshine. However, the Frio is still in excellent shape, flowing strong and clear. I've been gettin several comments and emails from folks wantin to be on FrioMan Blog, but haven't gotten any pics yet from anybody.
Share your stories, email some pictures. I hope yall aren't gonna forget about your favorite River just because of school, football, yadee yadee.

A "business" trip took us across the border to Acuna this week, where we dined at our favorite restaurant. Of course you have heard of Ma Crosby's in song, and The Corona Club from your buddies. They're both good places to go, one a watering hole, the other food and drink.
But we discovered Manuel's last year, and drive straight there as soon as we cross over. A man in the parking lot will get you safely in(tip him), and then you can take off walkin, shoppin, or whatever you want to do. Just let him know you're comin back to eat at their diner when you get hungry.


These fine folks from San Angelo were havin a great time at Manuel's while we were there.


The folks here will make sure you have plenty to eat & drink. Here are some of the friendly staff you will encounter at Manuel's. Steaks, shrimp, enchiladas, cabrito, & MARGARITAS! They have a lot more than that, but I can attest to those dishes being very tasty.
You don't need a passport yet, to come back home to Texas, but you still should have your TDL with you. Even passengers.

Have fun, be safe...COME SEE US! FrioMan

Nice blog Dad! And I'd send you some pics with relation to this one in particular to post, but Ma Crosby and Corona Club pics are sometimes best left unpublished! Ha ha ha!

You're doing a great job here. Sounds like you have lots of fans! =)
