Bentsen Palm Village

This was our home park for a month and half. It was the best park we have found. We really missed the beach we had in South Padre Island...but as always there are trade offs. So we have signed up for next year. This place is so in demand that it was sold out on 2/15/07 when it opened it up for reservations. We were able to lock in December only. However last week, there was a cancellation and and we were able to extend thru February 2009.

There is a 5 mile bike path (all pretty much flat) plus the Bentsen Bird Park. A former RV park. Also lots of Canadians.. mostly from Ontario. I bet 80% of the occupants are from Canada. And as we live so close to the border we fit right in. :-)) Greg rode with a bike group into Mexico and toured a school and enjoyed a lunch Mexican style. I didn't go as it was very hot and I just don't do hot.

Greg also went in a kayak on the Rio Grande. He said it was very tiring as the wind made it difficult to get anywhere.

we have once a week breakfast...margarita nights with lots of food...a wonderful doggie park for Logan, being close to the airport and grocery stores... I get to do crafts and line dance... They also have a very strong Wifi ., special fuctions on special days...in summary: it has been a very enjoyable stay.
