Guns, Honky Tonks and Cowboy Boots....Gotta be Texas!

Last month I got to travel to San Antonio, TX, for the second time in my life. Luckily, this time I wasn't confined to a golf course for the week.

I was there working on the Business Images of the Alamo Area Magazine which covers about eight counties around San Antonio. This wouldn't necessarily be a hard thing to do if this were a magazine in say, Maryland. 

But this is Texas. And everything is big in Texas. Even the counties.


One of the stops on my (pardon the pun) shot list was the Hill Country Shooting Sports Center in Kerrville, TX. The site will be hosting the second round of Olympic qualifying matches, as well as future national and world championships.



Some pictures you just happen upon. This windmill is in the town of Helotes, TX. Helotes is derived from the mexican word elotes, or corn-on-the-cob.



Of course, a trip to Helotes isn't complete unless you stop by John T. Floore's Country Store. Floore's opened in 1946 and helped give Willie Nelson his start, where he performed every Saturday night.









This is Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Big Foot, TX.



The town of Hondo, TX, is planning to make the Hondo Municipal Airport the centerpiece of their future economic development plans and develop their own version of Port San Antonio, an air, rail and truck logistics/distribution park.





Starlings flutter about the Torch of Friendship sculpture by Mexican artist Sebastian in San Antonio, TX.
