March 29, on to San Antonio

Cloudy morning, but pleasantly warm at 19.5 C.
It s so nice to see everything green & big trees! We have definately left the desert behind.
Since we are heading north from the Texas/Mexico border, we encountered a border inspection station, complete with a K9, who sniffed around the trailer. No problem, of course!

It was a relatively short drive (284 km), so we arrived at the park by noon & got set up. After lunch we went in San Antonio to the Visitor Centre, then to the IMAX Theatre.
Watched the IMAX movie, "Alamo, the Price of Freedom", which was a real eye-opener for me (I was never interested in history!)




Afterwards. we explored the Alamo www.thealamo.org for 1 1/2 hours.







We are sure there is much more here now than there was in 1995, the last time we were here.
The collection of artifacts and descriptions were fascinating.
