Brownsville, Texas
We stayed at the Rio RV Park to the east of Brownsville on the road to Boca Chica beach and the mouth of the Rio Grande. After depositing the three dogs in a reputable kennel (Canine Country Club), we left with Lee Zieger, owner of the RV park and our guide and chauffeur for the four-day trip to El Ceilo, in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico.
