New Orleans to Van Horn

It will come as no surprise to many readers that Texas is a really, really long state. I used to complain about Pennsylvania, but I-80 is a walk in the park compared to I-10. Departing New Orleans at 7:55 A.M., we arrived at a truck stop in Van Horn around 1:30 A.M. We broke up the monotony with a stop in San Antonio to visit the Alamo (which we nearly forgot), where I spotted the building at left. I'm not sure what its original or current use is, but it had some neat Star of David window decorations. The Alamo was closed.
