| This is an old motel on the railroad tracks in a ghost town that's called Shumla. It sorta creeped us out. There were big animal bones in one of the "rooms". |
 |
| In the 1930's Shumla had a couple of hundred residents. They all dried up and blew away in the 1950's. |

| An old adobe in Langtry. A couple of dozen folks live in Langtry and it has some nice houses...somehow I always photograph the derelicts. |

| I wonder who lived in these places and when and what they did. We enjoyed Patty's visit very much. We have been so lucky thus far with friends and family coming to see us here in Del Rio. EVERYBODY COME!! We ate steak one night and Mexican food the next night. Patty and I walked in the park near our house. We watched movies both nights. I gave her "the drivin' tour" one afternoon..the historic district, Main St. and winery etc. Thanks for coming PattyAttyWatty!!! |

Dear Mary,
Great pics, as usual. That is some really beautiful scenery. I, too, wonder what the town was like when the buildings were new and who lived there and what they did.
Love,
Dave

Love,
jamey
