A Travel Diary
San Antonio to the Hill Country — Spring 2021
Ten days across Texas in the spring — San Antonio's aquarium and old Spanish stone, Dallas and its bronze longhorn drive, Arboretum and dinosaur halls, the falling-water terraces of the Fort Worth Water Gardens, the Saturn V and lunar module at Houston's Space Center, the Alamo and the pink-granite Capitol in Austin, and the clear creeks and limestone ledges of the Hill Country.

Ten days across Texas in the spring, and the state lived up to its reputation for bigness. In San Antonio we found the aquarium and the old Spanish stone of the missions; in Dallas and Fort Worth, a bronze longhorn drive mid-stampede, dinosaur halls at the Perot, and the falling-water terraces of the Water Gardens.
Houston brought the real giants — the Saturn V rocket and a lunar module at the Space Center. We finished in the hill country around Austin, with the Alamo, the pink-granite Capitol, and clear creeks running over limestone ledges. Everything, as they say, is bigger.
This trip ran 8 days, March 28 – April 5, 2021. Along the way we spent time at Dallas, Fort Worth & the Perot Museum, San Antonio & the aquarium, The Alamo, Austin & the Hill Country, and Houston & the Space Center. The gallery below tells it day by day, in 99 photographs.
