The 23rd camp of our Photo Odyssey was at the Lake Casa Blanca International State Park in Laredo, Texas, the first stop on our journey up the Rio Grande heading for Big Bend National Park. The weather continued to be cloudy so my photography in Laredo was limited. Laredo is a border town with Mexico but we stayed in Texas due to problems in Mexico making it too dangerous to go there. During our stay in Laredo they celebrated their Jalapeņo Festival.
