DIEGO LEE ROT DOES MATAMOROS

Grandson Jack and Diego Lee Rot in January

Last January, Diego Lee Rot and grandson Jack went to the mouth of the Rio Grande River(Boca Chica), taking spectacular overhead pics of the river, surf and beach.  Some speculated that Diego flew over the region in an airplane or used a drone, but, instead he had tied a tiny Chinese camera to the string of a kite.  Here is a link to those Boca Chica pics:  http://brownsvilleobserver.blogspot.com/2017/01/aerial-boca-chica-kite-pics-by-diego.html


Yesterday, grandma and I followed the kitefliers to an open field behind the Brownsville & Matamoros Bridge.  We are publishing 24 pictures, most including unique views of Brownsville's actual sister city, from near the old bridge.

You will recognize the customs area, the river and bridge, Garcia's in Matamoros, businesses along Mexico Blvd. and overviews of the city across the river.(Several pics are cut by a vertical red line, the kite string that held the camera.)
