Yea! We made it to Houston! After we left Fort Stockton we followed I-10 through lovely Texas. Saw more, lots more, windmills on the mesas. Those mesas (Spanish for 'table') really are quite spectacular. Went on some rolling hills and spotted some major fog up ahead. It was this huge line of white! Well, it took us over 35 minutes to drive through and thank goodness it had lifted some so we weren't completely in the thick of it. (See pictures in next post)
Made our way into downtown San Antonio to visit The Alamo. This historical monument is very well preserved but it is smack dab in the middle of a huge city! We did enjoy walking through it and seeing all the artifacts; one of which was Davy Crockett's rifle! See the pic of the impressive Live Oak tree. All in all, the parts of San Antonio I did see did not make me want to come back. I felt better when I got past the city and into open country.
Arrived at our son, Adam's, place around 5:15. It's tricky trying to get around Houston! Lots of criss crossing highways, toll roads, and city drivers. But I am so pleased with his area. Adam took us for a long walk all around the outskirts of the actual main street. Beautiful big buildings, small neighborly streets, gorgeous fountains. Most of the people we saw were in their 20's.....I think there's a college here. Adam says it is a very rich area. Well, I'll give it a chance. :)
We spent the evening catching up, watching a movie and will look forward to another long walk tomorrow.
