mist which was so denae that we
could no! eee out of the plane win-
dows. Then a miracle happened.
We rose above the clouds which
stretched below us like some isolat-
ed arctic waste. Above was blue
sky and bright sunshine which re-
flectedion the clouds below and
painted a picture so grand and
magnificent that we were perfectly
spell bound. Huge icebergs loom
ed in the distance banked by drift-
ing snows. There were towering
cliffs, canyons and dangerous preci-
pices. It was some mystic land un-
inhabited by man. Then the clouds
parted and bottomless pits flashed
into view. Again they drifted apart
like a huge volcano crater and far
below wa glimpsed the insignificant
earth with its miniature fields,
pigmy trees and doll houses where
a puny race known es ’man* was
said to dwell. The earth seemed
more unreel than the world of
clouds where we sailed.
The pilot wrote notes to the pas-
sengers along the trip. We re*
member one which read something
like this, 'Altitude 4000 feet. Waco
and Brazos river to left. A slight
tail wind. Austin 20 minutes. Hope
everybody is happy.1 It was sign-
ed, "Pilot
It was a thrill to see the beautiful
capitol building in Austin from the
air, and a short stop of 10 minutes
was made at the Austin airport be-
fore continuing the trip to San An-
tonio. which we reached in two
hours and thirty minutes after leav-
ing Fort Worth including the stops.
This is Fiesta Week in San An-
tonio, and the city was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. On
Monday evening thousands con-
gregated in front of the historical
old Alamo where flowers were
placed in memory of Texas heroes.
All of San Antonio takas
this gigantic festival and the
city takes on a holiday air which
seems in keeping with its ancient
missions and hallowed ground. San
Antonio is truly 'The Land of
Manana.*
Life moves along slowly, and the
history of the past is so poignant
that it is difficult to go forward with
the future. Here one hears Spanish
spoken as freely as English, and
constantly rubs should era with
Mexicans and Spaniards. San An*
tonio, in our opinion, is the only
true location for the Texas Centen-
nial.
At two o'clock Tuesday we were
sitting around the lovely luncheon
table in the artistic home of Dean
and Mrs. Cut Venth, well-known
Texas Musicians, formerly of Fort
Worth, and just two hours and
thirty minutes later stepped off the
graceful Vultee at the Fort Worth
Airport. We seemed to be waking
from a dream, but we were wide
enough awake to shake Temple
Bowen’s hand and to thank him
for the most thrilling trip of our life.
