Well today we slept in because the Bush Museum didn't open until 12pm on Sundays. We made our way there and toured another magnificent facility! These former Presidents go out in style! The Bush Museum was very informative and portrayed Bush's Foreign Policy while he served in office. Mike and I traveled onto Austin TX to see the Big Tex's (Lyndon Baine Johnson) Library but it was already closed when we got there...but we did get to see a very refreshing fountain in front of the library that misted us pretty good! We didn't complain at all about the mist, it was very soothing! The temperature today was about 100 degrees and dry, no humidity...just Hot! While we were outside LBJ's Library, we had a fury friend that came up to see what we were taking pictures of and we even got a picture of him/her...the squirrel. We boarded our motors again and off to San Antonio to see the Alamo.
San Antonio is a beautiful city, but the interstate system there is sure confusing and busy! We found the Alamo after a few turn arounds and stops to ask for directions. The Alamo was so beautiful to see it up close and actually be able to touch a building that has remained standing since the 18th Century. What a glorious piece of American History. The armed Ranger told us that the Alamo is guarded 24-7-365; never left unguarded. You will see those pics as well.
We then took some pictures of two of the oldest hotels in San Antonio, the Emily Morgan Hotel and the Crockett Hotel; both are still in operation today. It was a short riding day for us today, but we plan on riding tomorrow to see the four corners monument. So enjoy the pics!
