Update: Volunteering at San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site – settling in

We’ve been at San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site where we are volunteering for nearly three weeks now. This is an interesting place and we like what we are doing. We’re dividing our time between working on the Battleship Texas in the archives doing filing and data entry and at the San Jacinto monument where we are helping at a touch table displaying items related to 1836 when Texas won its independence. The people here are friendly and easy to work with. We’ll do a longer review later on. Here are a few photos – you’ll note the photo of the Battleship Texas all dressed out in it’s signal flags. This is in preparation for a special Iwo Jima ceremony this weekend.
