Favorite thing: The American Air Force Heritage Museum is now in Midland Texas, but at one time it was located in Harlingen ( then called The Confederate Air Force ) . This one is for airplane freaks .

The drive down the coast from Houston to Harlingen was like being in an oven .

Luckily there was a restaurant in the Motel so there was no need to go back into the heat . Decided to have some Mexican food. The food was fantastic but , it was "HOT". My eyes were watering so much that I thought I would lose my contacts.

The next morning the skies were overcast and the temperature around 60 deg F. In San Antonio five hours later , snow was in the air. Snow on the Alamo ????
