Chili Cook off in Terlingua

This past weekend mom and dad went out to Big Bend National Park and the International Chili Cook Off in Terlingua. Our good friends who go every year invited us. This year they even flew back from Florida. It was great for my parents to see them this year. Last year I got to go but this year they took friends instead. Mom is still waiting on pictures from her friend from this year but here are a few from last year. Sammi and I at the campfire at the cook off. We never saw an ounce of chili while we were there. I guess they make very small portions to better control the ingredients. We basically were just there for the entertainment - Texas country music. Terlingua used to be a huge mercury mining town which no longer exists but parts of several buildings still do wso now it is known as the ghost town. They have a cafe there that has wonderful food, we really liked the guacamole. We never like guac till we got to Texas.
