That is great that the state of Texas and Mexico shared a landmark to show the friendship they have.

I don't know if I have seen that in San Antonio when we were there. That's pretty interesting.
ReplyDeletea 65 feet tall work of art shipped all the way to San Antonio! That's something! My poor taste in art won't be able to recognize this as a torch :). Thanks for the new knowledge.
