We had an early start this morning as we had to get to Drury Plaza Hotel on the River Walk for and 8:30 lecture on the History of Texas. This was given by Dr Allen Hamilton, a colleague in St Philip’s College. We joined about two hundred Road Scholars who were visiting Texas for a few days. Road Scholar is life-long education organisation which organises educational trips all over the world. Our group consisted mainly of seniors.
The two hour talk itself was very informative and very entertaining giving good background to current demographics and its political conservatism.
