Texas Spirit

Wednesday we took the

"English" to historical Goliad

to learn a little about

the spirit of Texas

We stopped at the square in Goliad

to take in a few shops

Dan played a little tune outside this shop!

Cousins!!

Then we drove out to

Presidio La Bahia

The most fought over fort in Texas history

and the historical site of the Goliad massacre

of Fannin and his men

We learned all about the Texas Spirit

and our battle for independence

a couple of the many flags flown over Texas

The beautiful little chapel located at the fort

While we were in the museum

the temperature outside dropped

about 20 degrees

Brrrrr

That's Texas weather for you!!

We had lunch at the

"Hanging Tree"

restaurant named

for the famous

live oak that stands

across the street in front

of the courthouse

(once used to serve justice from it's great limbs)

After a leisurely country drive home

we treated them to a Cajun Shrimp Boil

for dinner

Today was a lazy day

and warm again......



for some it was a very lazy day!!!



Tomorrow we are off to the Texas Hill Country

for five days.  Check back next week for

a post on our "bluebonnet trip"

Every Little Birdie says-

Cherrio for now.......
