I was cruising down San Pedro Avenue in San Antonio,Texas, when I happened upon these cool wall murals. The people who painted these are not gangsters, or taggers, they are artists.

One place that I think every American should visit is Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Independence Hall is a place with historical facts that will clear up many of the untruths being perpetuated by today’s media regarding the founding fathers of the United States. Namely that the United States was not founded on God. There are more documents here that will verify this truth than anyplace I have ever seen. Here a few photos from my visit.

Schlitterbahn New Braunfels in Photos
Posted: June 19, 2013 in Photography, TravelTags: Comal River, German, New Braunfels Texas, Schlitterbahn, Texas, Theme Parks, United States, Water park
Schlitterbahn New Braunfels has been the #1 water park in America for several years do to its proximity to the Comal River, innovating ride technology, free parking, and the ability to carry your own food in and have a picnic. You have water coasters, tube shoots, water slides, surfing with Boogie Bahn, and several water play areas for children. In the old section of the park the water is non-chlorinated Comal River water flowing through the rides at 72 degrees. A nice chill that keeps one cool in Texas summer heat and definitely original. I have never seen it done at any water parks in America. I am proud to say I have been chilling out at Schlitterbahn New Braunfels since the opening in 1979. New Braunfels sister city is Braunfels, Germany, and after a visit to Schlitterbahn you will understand why because German heritage is everywhere. For more information check out their site at http://www.schlitterbahn.com/nb/
Here are a few photos I took at the park last week. I hope they inspire you to find your way their and enjoy a day of fun.
