Texas, DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS. First off, who would want to? State color: Brown, state spice: dirt, state bird: Buzzard, state animal: deer, this is just a miserable state, maybe Mexico should have tried harder to keep it. Yuck, I wish I had a dollar for every buzzard I seen. 881 miles so far this trip, El Paso across the state to Beaumont, last year almost as many miles from El Paso across the state on I-20. The speed limit is 80 cause people can't drive fast enough to get out of the state. The buzzards feast all day long on the poor deer that threw themselves infront of vehicles trying end their misery in Texas. The wind is so strong, that's not sunburn you see, it's wind burn. Oh well, Don't Mess With Texas!
Our next stop was San Antonio to see the Riverwalk and The Alamo. This is a statue of St. Anthony given to the city from Portugal.
The Alamo, just sitting there, what's left of it right in the middle of the city. It was very beautiful, touching and moving. These 189 men gave their lives willingly, for a cause they felt was the right thing to do. Kind of reminds me of 40 other American souls.
Across the street from the Alamo, is the US Post Office and Court House. It sits right where the north wall of the fort stood. Inside, up along the ceiling are these murals depicting the Battle of The Alamo.
Maybe you can get a feel for where the Alamo sits inside the busy city.
Depiction of the fort. The very small box at the top right is the old church that everyone sees in pictures of the Alamo. The whole thing took up 3 acres.
This church never had a roof until the US Army put one on in 1850.
Picture of the only building in Texas that is only flying the US flag. I swear, every building flying the American flag also is flying the Texas State flag next to it.
The Riverwalk is pretty. But it's just one restaurant after another vieing for business.
That's the Crockett Hotel, it's across the street of the backside of the Alamo. We headed out of San Antonio Thursday late afternoon. We are spending the night East of Beaumont, right on the state line of Texas and Louisianna. Friday brings us 250 miles to New Orleans. Peace, Linda
