Day Sixteen

This is a day late, but I had to go a ways to get internet service. We traveled from San Antonio to Big Bend National Park in West Texas. The people in Texas are just the nicest you will ever meet! Especially the Deputy Sheriff in Brewster County. He was so kind to remind Scott that you don't go 82 miles an hour in a 75. I think he saw the firefighter plates and let him off with warning.

Laura is doing great and getting ready to show us the park. We have had breakfast and have our sack lunches for the day. We can't wait so see all this beauty up close.

Cactus, cactus, cactus. You have to watch where you step!

The pictures don't really do this place justice.

The area is surrounded by beautiful mountains.

More cactus.

We spotted this "little" turantula on our way to our room.
