Having fun with the Turnells!

Roger and Kerry arrived Tuesday night and it was great to see them. Yesterday we went to the State History Museum and saw an IMax film on the story of Texas plus the "spirit theatre" where we got wet with the water from the 1906 hurricane in Galveston and goosed by a rattlesnake in our chair...quite fun. The exhibits were exceptionally well done too.

Big storm last night with hail as large as baseballs in some areas and quite a bit of rain and wind...no power this morning.

We went to the Harry Ransom Center where Jim has been doing his research and saw the Gutenburg bible as well as a very interesting exhibit on the "Beat" poets and also played around in some of the funky stores on South Congress today as you will see by the photos.
