Since Gary met Jessica from McAllen, Texas, he has been stayed in McAllen most of time. Therefore, this weekend, Jenny, Jenny's son Richard and me, decided to pay him a visit and also take a look of McAleen, the city close to Mexico border. Becuase these two cities are close to the border of Meico, the initial stereo type of McAleen and Edinburg just think there should be nothing around, country side city. However, I was totally wrong..
On Sat. Aug 15, because I needed to work, we went on trip a little bit late around 2:30pm. On the way, it is all country side. Also there were a lot of hwy patrols and troopers to give out speeding tickets.. I figured that Texas is a state who needed a lot of state fund, that is why so many police are around to catch people.. The distance between San Antonio and McAllen is about 240 miles around 3-1/2 hr driving. Take hwy 281 S. go straight to I37, change to hwy59, and back to hwy 281 S., we arrived in Edinburg where Jessica lived near Univerity of Texas Pan America (UTPA) campus. Jessica lived in one-bed room with bacony. Can you guess how much is the rent? $315 per month. How much did she pay for preminum cable and internet? $13 per month. I was totally shocked.. How can the livinig expense so cheap around here?
