NOW THAT'S SOUTH!

I'm traveling to a city I've not only never visited before, but I've never even heard of it before! It's called Harlingen, TX. There are 5 Lowe's stores in that area, within about 100 miles of each other, that I need to hire a rep to service. Currently, our rep from Corpus Christi is driving there to service these 5 stores. So, I'm going to hire a part-timer from the McAllen/Harlingen area to take care of them.



Anyway, in making my plans, I looked at a map and was surprised by a few things. First, there are quite a few cities in the southern tip of Texas. Second, a very nice resort area is there...South Padre Island, which I've heard about. It's a beautiful place. Finally, that area is incredibly far south! Way south. Waaayyy down there.

Check out how far south of, say, San Diego it is. I always thought when I went down to Tijuana or Ensenada I was going pretty far south in the world. Look how far south Harlingen is!


I guess I'd better bone up on my Spanish and get some pesos.
