One of the more interesting things we have done here in Austin is to visit the Bullock State Texas History Museum. Austin is after all the Capitol of Texas. So, this makes sense too.
At first I didn't really want to go do this because it wasn't something I had planned to do while I was here. However, my daughter and my wife are very into things like Museums to learn the history of the places where they visit or live.
So, There is this Ship (Maybe the La Sal?) Nope it's the La Belle.
In 1686, La Belle, the one remaining expedition ship, wrecked in a storm and sank to the muddy bottom of Matagorda Bay where it rested undisturbed for over 300 ...
The preserved and reconstructed hull of French explorer La Salle's ship, La Belle, sunk off the coast of Texas in 1686, is now on display at the Bullock ...
Also, we found this Conquistadore metal Helmet that had engraved on it Jesus on a Cross which was very ornate and amazing to look at too. I had no idea that Conquistador helmets from Spain at that time were so ornate. I just thought they were just helmets and that's all and not also a symbol of a person's religion too.
So, this was pretty fascinating to witness too.
