WOW I can't believe it's been 5 days since last blog !! It's been a fast week for us. After Austin we went to San Antonio and toured the Alamo..it's right in downtown. We were impressed with the cleanliness of this metropolitan city. The Alamo is a real piece of American history. The first thing they do is show a historical movie about it, then a self guided tour is in order. The suprising thing about that place is it's free, unlike other places. Downtown San Antonio is very inviting and pleasant to walk around. There's a river that runs thru it and it has boat rides to see all the sites. It's called the Riverwalk and is a must see.. Then we headed to Corpus Christi and camped a the State Park and toured the Air Craft Carrier "Lexington"..man, it's big !!It took about 3 hrs, and if our legs could take any more could've been 2 more hours, to get  thru it and another piece of history is in our heads. The heroism shown by it's crew is mindboggling!! Now we're on Mustang Island east of Corpus Christi and camped between the dunes..tomorrow is beach walking day.. I called our next destination to make reservations near Brownsville so you probably won't see any new blogs for a couple of days. We may even stay awhile soon, the Holidays are coming. Most Campgrounds have things planned.and we're ready to stop for awhile. Hope y'all are in good health and spirits..REMEMBER...LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY...Charlie&Heather
