Texas, Day 3-4

 We finally made it to San Antonio.  The drive from Dallas there was just a drive through one extended city stretching all the way.  San Antonio was also a huge city.  We found our motel and then very easily found their temple.  It sits on a hill overlooking the city.  We noticed all around the temple there were these huge, beautiful stained glass windows.
 On the inside of the temple, all the rooms, even the dressing rooms, had these wonderful windows.  The celestial room had these floor to ceiling windows on all four walls, adding a beauty beyond description.

 Being born in Texas, and always fascinated by the stories of the Alamo.  This was one of our destinations.  It was really touching to see the place where it all occurred.
 One of the highlights of San Antonio is the Riverwalk.  We loved it.  We felt like we were in another world.  Very beautiful and romantic.

 This is the view of Texas, mile after mile.  Just open, flat land.
The Houston temple is grand and beautiful.  Each of the temples that we have visited have a look of their own, but the spirit is all the same--peaceful and full of love.  Seeing all the temples has truely been a highlight of our trip.
We are ready to head to Louisiana tomorrow.  What an awesome trip this is!
