The San Jacinto Monument

The monument was as cool as Billy remembered it.
Texas has an amazing history indeed. For more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Jacinto_Monument


A great mural on an oil storage tank, enroute to the monument.

The base of the monument.


Billy revisits.

One of the inscriptions on the base walls. A crucial part of our American history.

You can take an elevator up to the top, just below the star.

Quite the view from up there!

The whole shebang.

Once again...The Lone Star.

A voice from the past... (from a memorial graveyard near the monument)

We took a ferry to the next destination - always fun (although often a very slow process!!!)

A sight to sea!
