the Rio Grande becomes the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. It forms the western or southern border of the Texas counties of El Paso, Hudspeth, Presidio, Brewster (where the river's sweeping curve gives Big Bend National Parkqv its name), Terrell, Val Verde, Kinney, Maverick, Webb, Zapata, Starr, Hidalgo, and Cameron. The river empties into the Gulf of Mexicoqv (at 25°57' N, 97°09' W). The Rio Grande has been known by many names over time and in different parts of its course. The Pueblo Indians called it Posoge (sometimes spelled P'Osoge), which meant "big river." The expedition of Hernando de Alvaradoqv called it Río de Nuestra Señora in 1540.

The Rio Grande, but it isn't always so grand. Not too big. I took a great picture from a beach in south Texas with the Mexico coast right across - looked like I could walk across, and no, there wasn't a fence. I can't remember exactly where we were - my friend lived in Brownsville at the time and I don't know if it was South Padre or not.
