Mustang Island/South Llano River

 

From San Antonio, we headed to the coast, specifically Mustang Island at the recommendation of my customer (University of Texas Systems). It was a nice change going from the dry hill country to the humid beach. Us Charlestonians are really missing some humidity in our lives! We enjoyed a few walks on the beach, a glimpse of the sunrise and some great locally caught fried seafood.

 

After a couple of nights at the beach we went back inland to South Llano State Park. This place was quite a surprise. Imagine a park full of trails with a river intertwined throughout. We spent days walking trails, bird-watching, playing in the river (not Kathryn – too cold!) and spotting armadillos for the first time in our lives. Those armadillos were everywhere! We would be within inches of them. Our last night at the state park we befriended a great family that was camping next door. We were all sitting around the fire making s’mores when Titus sprints off chasing after an armadillo. Titus and the armadillo collided and both rolled into a ball in separate directions. Titus looked completely baffled as to what had just happened. I can only imagine what the armadillo was thinking.
