Spike Number 1

My first AmeriCorps NCCC project has begun.  We arrived in San Antonio at the Land Heritage Institute on Monday afternoon.  Saying the place is pretty great is definitely an understatement.

The Land Heritage Institute website describes themselves as:

 a living land museum on 1200 acres of open space along the banks of the Medina River 

on the far south side of San Antonio preserving, maintaining and 

interpreting 10,000 years of continual human habitation

How awesome is that?!?

There is just so much to tell about this place, but I'll start with one of the neatest things. In our backyard are 32 pure bred Cattlemen's Texas Longhorns.  Yes, we have longhorns who roam around the 1200 acres and come hang out in our backyard.  

This calf is 3 weeks old.  So cool.

We've also adopted an Ameri-puppy.  A few days before we showed up a dog started hanging around our bunkhouse.  We've named her Daisy.  She enjoyed last nights dinner scraps.
