March 14-18 Amistad National Recreation Area











Our travels took us to Laredo, Texas, for a couple of nights. The interesting thing about this place was watching the families of Mexicans. They are so family-oriented where many get together under one roof, and party – they just seem so happy. Then on to Amistad National Recreation Area in Del Rio, Texas. This is a huge reservoir and nearby is the Seminole Canyon of which we took a tour and learned about many characteristics of early settlers and saw pictographs and petroglyphs. A state park ranger gave a program describing the local cacti including claret cup, torrey yucca, prickley pear, pickle shaped, leucheguilla, and more. Plus we learned all about scat…you know, animal poop.
