South Texas has many small towns so we looked on the map for a new place to visit and headed to Rio Grande City. I guess they use the term "city" loosely because the population is about 12, 000 and I think everyone was either sleeping in or at church when we drove in. Nevertheless, this small city seems to have embraced a little Tangerine Tango. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWRML_ldVcgvUU1EbgnIpbDIuzfRhk4rjiQj-uIiMQ8YUQjdI0o5CCmFd2EB68lAS-zJfz-lf9O4lIEHpcAvEF83Iv3NsOJVNoQjUZn0OWxiXsL3FW2x63tlRW0ll_hHwf5ux9Yf5-5sFc/s1600/tangerine+wall.JPG)
There are many abandoned yet beautiful buildings but this is the one that stood out the most as we drove through.
Although Rio Grande City used to be a bustling town in the 1840s with trade to Mexico, today it is a sweet sleepy town. To be honest, there wasn't much going on that we could see but it's always nice to stop and take in a new "city."
hellooo...anybody home?? lol

and you took some great pictures. I forgot to tell you I had my house painted Sea Holly green and cream. I got the inspiration from a post "This Free Bird" did on a house in California.
