I have to say that I have a great job! I got to go to Brownsville Texas to do a study on the Rio Grande. South Padre Island is only a skip away from Brownsville so one night after work I went out to the island to check it out. It was the happening place for all of the college kids on spring break. It was crazy to think that El Paso is in the same state as the gulf region because they are completely different places!

This is the bridge that goes out to South Padre.

This picture was taken on the Rio Grande looking into Mexico.

Here I am on the boat ready for a long day on the river.

Here is the boat that we took down the Rio. This is the first time I have been on a boat with a fan on the back.
