We got up early again, and took a walk on a different trail around the RV park. (It was a balmy 65degrees.) Then we hit the road for a long day of driving (about 400 miles). We started in the desert, full of dirt and sand and cactus and mesquite trees. As we traveled east toward San Antonio, we started noticing the brown dirt slowly turning green with some bits of grass and ground cover. Then real grass and shrubs appeared. Then the trees got bigger and more diverse. Beautiful wildflowers started appearing along the roadside. They were white, then pink, then blue, then orange and magenta! Too bad we don’t know our wildflowers. Our day started out brown, and ended up very, very green.

We drove past San Antonio headed toward Houston. We actually stopped a little south east of Houston, so we could be close to the Johnson Space Center for Friday. (Driving through Houston during rush hour was fun….not!) We pulled up after dark into a small RV park very, very close to the Gulf shore. We could smell the salt water and feel the humidity. From the desert to the ocean!
