Well. here we are in Texas — no mistaking this guy for a Maine moose!
We left New Mexico just after sunrise on Friday (picture below) and drove south into Texas and then east to San Antonio and my sister’s house.
Driving east on I-10 across Texas, the speed limit was 80 mph and even though we held that speed in the Roadtrek, many cars were passing us, some soaring past. Here’s Carol holding at 80 mph.
On Saturday, after an oil change for the Roadtrek, my sister, Aimee, took us into San Antonio. The first stop, of course, was to the Alamo.
Afterward we had lunch on the River Walk.
On Sunday, we spent the day in Fredericksburg — had a great breakfast/lunch at a German bakery/restaurant — and then went on to Johnson City and the Lyndon Baines Johnson State Park and historic site, including LBJ’s Texas White House.
Today it’s on to Houston to visit our nephew and his wife, Matthew and Heather.

Deep in the heart of Texas… Hook Em’ Horns Hook Em’! Some interesting sites for sure. I would love to visit the Johnson Ranch. LBJ’s early life in Texas was formative and one would never predict his rise in politics in his early days. You might like to read a biography. This is a good one. https://www.amazon.com/Path-Power-Years-Lyndon-Johnson/dp/0679729453 What were your impression of The Alamo? Carol looks serious at 80mph!! Hard to believe you’ve been gone a month. Nice spell of weather coming for Maine. Keep the great blogging coming. Hope you can watch the Sox today.
LBJ Quote: “I shall never forget the faces of the boys and the girls in that little Welhausen Mexican School, and I remember even yet the pain of realizing and knowing then that college was closed to practically every one of those children because they were too poor. And I think it was then that I made up my mind that this Nation could never rest while the door to knowledge remained closed to any American. So here, today, back on the campus of my youth, that door is swinging open far wider than it ever did before.” Remarks at Southwest Texas State College upon Signing the Higher Education Act of 1965, Nov. 8, 1965.
