Heading south on interstate 55 you passed the famous ice cream/gift stop that has the pink elephant and the green alien spaceshipGuess which city we’re about to pass through on our way to Texas?Driving to Texas we hit some heavy fogThe front main entrance of the AlamoSelfie timeThe Alamo was originally a missionary church. It was then used as the city Square when it became famous and the Texas army made a last stand there. Afterwards it became a army post back in the 1800s and some soldiers carved things into the walls.We’re standing in front of the statue of Daniel Boone. He died at the Alamo fighting the Mexican army.The Riverwalk in San Antonio is truly amazingMore pictures looking down the RiverwalkA big Cypress tree along the river walk was hugeLinda being sillyThe river that goes through San Antonio is controlled by dams and locks.I caught Linda while she was trying to take a picture. Look at her expression at the end of this video.Linda’s pointing at turtles sunbathing along the river walk. It was very surprising to see fisherman along the river walk fishing. They said that they catch good fish out of there all the time. Not sure I’d eat anything out of that river though.Cool, gravel road that we had to drive down to get to our campsiteA picture from our campsite by the crater of diamondsWe stayed at a pretty nice state Park campground.Selfie pictureLinda working hard looking for diamondsAs you could see, it’s just a big field that they run a tractor through every couple of days to turn over the dirt. Both mom and I came away feeling like it was a silly thing to be looking for diamonds in that field. But apparently people do find enough to make it worthwhile.
