Visit to Del Rio and Ciudad Acuna, Mexico
This west Texas town along the Rio Grande River offers lots of
attractions for the history buff and outdoor enthusiast. The Whitehead
Memorial Museum contains several buildings of historical importance,
including a replica of a Spanish Mission, an old log house, an old
mercantile store, and Judge Roy Bean's Jersey Lily Saloon. Read more of
our visit to Del
Rio and Acuna. 
Just
across the border, we visited the friendly town of Ciudad Acuna and
enjoyed an evening meal at the famed Ma Crosby's. Numerous Mexican
historic figures and photos lined the walls, while a talented guitarist
serenaded us.
Just 30 minutes from Del Rio in Bracketville, Texas, a visit to
Alamo Village is a must see where the Alamo and many Westerns were
filmed. There is a John Wayne museum, and a reproduction of what San
Antonio looked like in the old days.
