It could be the smell of the tortillas cooking or frijoles boiling on the wood burning stoves. It could be the red chili peppers strung and hanging in the dry air from the pegs driven in the adobe-walled houses. It could be the musical sound of the Spanish language spoken by Mexicans and gringos alike. It could be the Mexican music that blairs from every border cantina. It could be the Tequila, Mescal and Sotol of which a drink or two will make anyone like the music. It could be the echo of the Jackasses braying in the canyons of the Rio Grande, ... it is all of these things, mixed together that makes the flavor of life what it is.The very life's blood on the Texas border flows down the Rio Grande. Without the life-giving Rio Grande water, which most of the time is too thick to drink and too thin to plow, very little life could survive. People on both sides of the Rio Grande use the river water to drink, wash their clothes, make their Sotol, irrigate their fields, water their cattle, goats, jackasses and horses, water the flowers that are seen around most of the adobe houses — and once-in-a-while take a bath in it. But the flavor stays the same.
