Big Bend National Park

Wednesday, December 22, 2010

Today we went to Big Bend National Park.  This place is huge!  We pretty much saw the same thing we have been seeing - cactus, grease brush, (lots of grease brush), all kinds of yuccas, and, MORE ROCK!  We also saw some fossils from more dinosaurs.

PINK cactus!
We saw the Rio Grand River, and of course across the river is Mexico.  At one stop, there were little scorpions and road runners made out of wire and painted walking sticks made by the Mexicans.  There was a hand made sign selling every thing for $6.  Across the river were Mexicans (with horses).


Crafts for sale across the Rio Grande River.

Mexicans across the river with their horses.

Me helping to plan our next move.  WOW, this is a
REALLY big state!!!
We will be moving on tomorrow - down highway 90 towards Del Rio.  Dad said that will make for a short day when we go into San Antonio.
