Before arriving in Del Rio in August of 2003,
Sarah lived in Granbury, where she was in banking, then
"retired" to open a B&B on Lake Granbury.
Here's what Sarah has to say. "I've always
wanted to live in a ' foreign country '. Villa Del Rio and the
charm of the two cities, Del Rio and Ciudad Acuña, give me that
experience. "Tejas" is home to me now.....and being able to
share its culture with visitors from all over the world is
exciting! I particularly enjoy seeing guests leave the Villa
with a totally different perspective of Mexico and its people.
Y'all come! "
