New Orleans...Gator Time!

Coral has to fight to get her sweat shirt back! This swamp tour was just outside New Orleans.

These gators were hungry.

This is the luxury suite we stayed in.

Coral wanted to keep him.

Ralph wrestled this gator bare handed.

On to San Antonio, TX 3-2011

San Antonio Space Needle for dinner.

We toured LBJ ranch and Ralph had to give a presidential speech.

This was LBJ's ranch house where he and Lady Bird lived.

This was the plane he used to commute to DC.

LBJ was born in this little house.

Off to Sea World, San Antonio, TX. Ralph makes friends easily.

The whale show was cool.

No trainers were allowed in the water with the killer whales.

Coral does hard time in the pokey.

Coral gets attacked!

This was an old saloon in downtown San Antonio,

Is Coral admiring the mirror of herself?

The river walk was cool. Here we are on a water taxi.

Ralph eyes the Alamo.

Van Horn, TX 2-2011

Here we are at an old movie set in Red Rock Canyon.

Coral sees a buffalo on this rock?

Coral crushed a natural decongestant, smelled like Vicks.

We had to hold the rocks from falling. Good thing we came along!

Two old goats, not Ralph and I, said goodbye from a ridge.

Tuscan, AZ 2-2011

We traveled to Tombstone, AZ so Ralph could his gunslinger on.

Sure enough, he got caught and had to be hanged.

Luckily, his get away stagecoach was waiting.

We stayed near a copper mine and did the tour. Ralph and Coral got tired.

Coral met a real Indian! Joe Begay has been in several movies and claims he is a real Indian because he was sent to Indian school in Hollywood to be taught how to act in the movie "Buffalo Soldier".

I'm Back!!!! Center of the World? 2010

OK, the center of the world is somewhere between El Centro, CA and Yuma, AZ.

This fellow was engraving the history of the world on marble plates.

Lest you doubt that the center was here, this proves it,

This place was truly weird. The finger is pointing at the center which is inside the pyramid of course!
