Friday

Bobe's two cents:  We left Austin and I drove all day with the sun in my eyes going west.  About 60 some degrees, finally seen some out west country.  Camped at Fort Stockton, TX  a free fairgrounds once again.
Nugene's 50 cents:  Okay so we were driving today, and saw gazelles, 6 camels and some big red deer with white spots.  It's a jungle out here in Texas.  None of these creatures were housed at the same location and those weird red deer weren't in a pen, just beside the highway.

Since I am late in blogging today due to lack of signal all day while traveling we have to back up two days.  We went to see the Alamo.

This huge memorial is right in front of the Alamo, I took this picture so you all could read it.

This lovely lady stands over those remembered.

The side.

The other side, isn't that carving amazing?

Just so you can get a grip on how big this thing is, here is yours truly standing in front of it.

For those of you who don't know,  the Alamo is right smack in the middle of downtown San Antonio. (if you come from here it is pronounced SanAnTone)  So it was all I could do to stay downtown very long after we saw the Alamo.  I did manage to get him to walk the riverwalk and eat lunch there outside next to the river before he couldn't stay in the city ONE MINUTE LONGER.  Back to Spicewood we went, about 1-1/2 hour drive.

Yesterday we, meaning Terry, Carrie and myself went to Fredericksburg, TX, a quaint German town with an amazing museum, the Nimitz Museum/Pacific War Museum and George Bush Museum, all in one. Also great shopping especially the Dogology Store.  We toured the museum while Carrie went shopping.  It was a great place but we got museumed out before we got to the George Bush part so we'll have to stop in there again.  When you buy a ticket it is good for 48 hours and now I know why.

Riverwalk

This was in Fredericksburg and I took it for my very special Aunt.  You know who you are.

The museum.

Well we had a great visit with Tom and Carrie Scrima, founders of ACTHA.  Check out their website for a fun and friendly trail competition.
Goodnight for now, tomorrow I will post pics of our lovely campsite at the fairgrounds.
