| Spring Trip to Texas, 2006 |
| In Feburary we took a trip to South Padre Island and San Antonio. |
| On the way to South Padre, we stopped at Langtry Texas to see where Judge Roy Bean dealed out the law, west of the Pecos. |
| There were thickets of thorny brush and trees right along the marshes there, not all that different from the stuff that grows around us in Tombstone. |
| After spending a week walking the beaches and eating shrimp in South Padre, we drove up to San Antonio and spent three nights in a Bed & Breakfast inn. We arrived in time for San Antonio's version of Mardi Gras. |
| We walked all over from our B&B, including over to visit the Alamo. |
| We were surprised to find Yucca, and Prickley Pear cactus growing right along the edges of marshes near South Padre Island. |
| We drove through a wildlife refuge, along the waterway opposite South Padre Island. It was posted with Ocelot crossing signs. |
| We found a restuarant where we could sit near the River Walk and watch the boats go by. |
| We drove along the Mission Trail. There are three old spanish missions that made up early San Antonio. |
