Today we drove by the enormous Laughlin Air Force Base right outside Del Rio as we were leaving town. We could see some battalions of soldiers lining up. If I were born around here, I would have probably joined too.
We kept driving for miles looking at the Chihuahua desert. It's a no man's land, with miles and miles of creosote bushes with some, at times, really interesting rock formations in the horizon. We passed by rock hills with protruding rock formations like long stripes running along the summits. We found out they were called 'caballos', horses.
After so many days driving through the desert, we welcomed the sight of oak trees, dry grass and cows at pasture. We passed several creeks and the Nueces river. Soon after we crossed an area with agriculture. What a comforting sight after all that desert! We reached a town with a German name, Uvalde. This town had several brick historical buildings and looked quite pretty. But we didn't have time to stop. Our final destination was San Antonio.
We finally made it to the RV campground. This one is good, pool, Jacuzzi, library, exercise room. It has everything we need including a lot with a view on the river park.
We are staying here for 5 days at least.
