| Our dear friend, Diane Weatherford, gave us a snowglobe as a Christmas gift just before we left on our 2003 trip to Big Bend National Park, Texas. We decided to take it with us to help us document our trip...in the manner of the remarkable book, "The Red Couch"* or the more prosaic, and more recent, "Traveling Gnome" Travelocity TV commercials.
When we got home we told Diane that we thought of her every day. After she pooh-poohed that suggestion, I showed her the pictures. We all had a big laugh.
Here are just a few of the locations in which we documented our snowglobe's participation in our trip. All kidding aside, I hope you are inspired to visit the beautiful Big Bend country.
