OFF TO THE MUSEUM

Last night it was cold 5C, we actually had to put the furnace on. Today was sunny with a high of 20C.

After lunch we took a drive over to Edinburg to check out the Museum of South Texas. It was about a 45 min. drive from the resort. It had a lot of great displays showing the history of the area.

This giant mammoth was the first display - we were not able to use the flash, about 14ft. high.

This Spanish chest had a very interesting locking mechanism which was opened by a key. (all of those little arms would have to move to release/close the pins)

Cathy put on weight! The Spanish helmet must have weighted about 10 Ibs. and the chest armour about the same.

Wow! Tinkertoy, I used to have a whole lot of these a way back when. The record player and 45's were also part of our history as well. But I don't seem to recall having a pet mammoth though.(Too young to remember perhaps!)

This was a great bronze statue.

Til tomorrow...
