San Angelo, TX

We left the Lower Rio Grande Valley, TX at noon on Christmas Eve.  We started packing and kept packing so we were ready to go much earlier than expected.  So we said our goodbyes, left our keys and traveled on.  We traveled to Laredo on the Mexican border of western south Texas and stayed overnight at a Walmart on Christmas Eve.  The store closed at 8PM but security was around the clock through Christmas.  The store was closed when we left Christmas morning.  I gave a lip balm with candy cane to the security guard on Christmas morning.  They were another shift but oh well!!!!!

We stayed in a state park on Christmas night.  It was a nice clean park and very quiet, like we thought it was.  There was a ranger on duty Christmas Day.  He must have drawn the short straw!!  We are now in San Angelo, north of I-10 visiting people we had met in Petrified Forest.  We are staying at an Air Force Campground right next to the base (They are retired Air Force) and will be with them for dinner tonight.  Then it is travel on to New Mexico. 
We were taken to San Angelo Christmas lights.
 
This shadowbox reminds us of why we celebrate.
