Thanks Karen for organizing the outing, and thank you Nancy for the idea.
Even Karen & Jay took off the afternoon for a little R & R. And do they ever deserve it. 
The boat sailed down to the Anzalduas Dam 
and past this one mile section of the border wall (That'll keep out a passel of bad guys... not!)
Past the current Pepe's...
And past the now condemned original Pepe's.
Then back to the Riverside Club for dinner.
I always like to show some of the food and the atmosphere of our dining outings...to see if it's worth going back.
The restaurant was clean and bright but had a more limited menu than Pepe's (I am just quoting Jim, so chime in if you opinion is different)
Overlooking the garden is nice. 
Some people Really loved the food....right Bill?
Others took pity on the last table that had to wait forever for their orders, so Tony sent over his leftover fries to stave off starvation.
Yum, thanks Tony.
This is somebodies burger....
And here is Jim's Fish & Chips.
Here Tony...want your fries back?

We had a wonderful time on the Rio Grande. It was nice seeing so many families enjoying their Sunday afternoon. There are a lot of very nice parks on the Mexican side, and more are being developed.
As for the food, mine was wonderful! I had the shrimp basket, and it was delicious. I had so many French fries that I shared with 3 other people. Frankly, I think the menu is much more extensive than Pepe's. Add to that the AIR CONDITIONING (!), the lovely patio filled with gorgeous plants (no drouth visible here), and I'll take Riverside any day. They had an excellent C-W band. Garland and I stayed until 8:00 to enjoy the dancing. (There were no other dancers in our group, but plenty of regulars made up for that. It's also nice to dance and not sweat!)
Maybe we need to offer dance lessons--it's great exercise.

Dance lessons sound like a great idea! They ARE wonderful exercise and they're fun, too. Bob and I have been wanting to learn how to two-step. Would you consider offering lessons in that?
