Goliad, TX

We took a trip with some friends to Goliad, TX to a 25th wedding anniversary celebration. Goliad is between San Antonio and Corpus Christi. Besides enjoying the anniversary celebration, we toured Goliad. Even though it is a small town, there is a lot of history there.

We also attended a cowboy church. I had never been to a cowboy church before, so was curious as to what makes them different. They were very laid-back, their music was mostly with guitars, and almost everyone was dressed in cowboy attire. But the message was the same gospel. Different people enjoy different ways to worship. But the gospel cannot be changed.

The main thing that impressed me about Goliad was the friendliness of the people. Everyone we met was very open and welcoming. We received some comments about Geneo's OU cap, but it was done in a fun way.

We came home through San Antonio and rode the boat on the river downtown. Monday we went to the zoo. I can't remember the last time I had been to a zoo. A grizzly bear posed for the cameras, and a couple of birds rode on Geneo's head and shoulder. Thankfully, they didn't poop on his OU cap, or we would be in jail right now. The day started with a light drizzle, but the sun came out, and it was getting really warm by early afternoon when we left. I didn't realize until we got to the motel that I had a light sunburn.

I have a scrapbook of road trips, so, of course, I took a lot of pictures. It was a great trip. I would recommend that part of south Texas to anyone who is looking for a place to visit. And who knows; you might just like it well enough to stay.
