| For
spring break 2007, we—my parents and I—opted for a domestic trip. Given
the early dates—the last week in March—we looked for a southern
destination. We considered possibilities from Florida to southern
California. We had visited many of these places before; however none of
us had been to west Texas or Big Bend National Park. After a bit of
research, we decided to fly into San Antonio, rent an SUV, and drive to
Big Bend. From San Antonio west, the landscape changes
dramatically—hillier with sparser vegetation—until one finally reaches
the Chihuahuan desert of the Big Bend country. On the way we stopped
overnight in Del Rio and made a quick visit to Mexico. At the end of
our week, we took a detour north to
the Davis Mountains. Finally, we visited San Antonio, enjoying the
sights of one of America’s most-visited cities. Below are a few
photographs selected from the hundreds that we took. The narration that follows
was written by Norm. The pictures were mostly taken by Norm; the rest
were taken by Jeff and Pat. —Jeff
