Talk about this trip (1)
Looking for somewhere to go that's not cold and rainy....but like to see more of the things like the Natural Bridges Cavern (i.e. countryside) that is interesting rather than so many buildings and historical sites. Have done the Alamo and the river cruise what sort of geographical spots of interest are there?
