Ozona, Texas

Today I drove out of San Antonio again. I had the entire weekend off which I needed to give myself a much anticipated therapeutic break. I decided to visit the little town of Ozona about three hours drive out of West San Antonio. The driving itself was already therapeutic to me as I was cruising down the highway with neverending land on each side of the road.

The town Ozona is the hometown of Blas. Blas grew up in Ozona. Ozona is called "The Biggest Little Town in the World" because it really is a little town with a big history that actually shaped Texas to what it is today. A statue of a man called David Crockett who came down from Tennessee to help to fight against the invaders of Texas, stood tall and high in the City Park Town Square.

David Crockett and 13 other volunteers fought their best battles in The Alamo, a historical monument situated in the city of San Antonio. A monument was erected for him and the county was named after him. This was what made the little town Ozona famous. Apart from all that history, it is a really tiny tranquil town.

I even found Blas Street. A street called to his name.

The drive home was again a calming effect. Cruise control. With blue skies and all.
