Texas: Chamizal National Memorial

Last year I met up with my dad in Texas.  I rode a train which was the first time I did it to another state.

Chamizal with the first park that we stopped at on this trip.  The building was cool with all the art work.  I learned the President JFK started a project with the Mexico President but he couldn't finished because he got killed.  Later on Lyndon B Johnson finished the project with the Mexico President in 1967.
