Bob and his kids had a great San Antonio field trip. No rain. He learned new details at the Museum of Texas Cultures, incuding that Tejanos used ants to hollow out drinking gourds to hold water safely. They lured the ants with honey. Caddo Indian women were tatooed in a straight line dividing the face in half when they married.

Glad Bob was spared more rain with all the kids. Sounds like a neat field trip. In general we know so little about the rich native American cultures that were here for centuries before Europeans came.

Interesting about the tatooing! Glad that Bob & kids had a good field trip.
