Texas today have a small city, HUNTSVILLE (Huntsville). In natural forest hundreds of meters between HUNTSVILLE Road No. 45 and No. 75 Road, white figure statue stands a towering. Several times through the 45 highway driving through here, the car's friends are like Kolumb discovered the American continent, looking at the white statue, exclaimed: "washington! Washington!"
Just as the American continent Kolumb mistake when India, my friends mistook the statue as "George washington". Although all is "meal", but this "meal" is not the "meal", but "Sam Houston".
The entrance to the parkEvery time pass by to Huntsville, not with the customer groups or have friends traveling, always from the "Sam Houston" by the side, never carefully look "Hugh grandpa" face. The drive from Houston north to Dallas, so rare a chance to travel alone, so parking in the obvious "WELCOME TO HUNTSVILLE, HOME OF SAM HOUSTON" the park sign, "a visit to this decision".
The park's receptionThe park's reception is a white building, the only one here duty is a senior Tzu Chi the grandmother, and a souvenir shop sales. The park open to visitors free of charge, the only need to do is to the visitors book sign and date of arrival. Grandma heard I from the Chinese Beijing, the warm degree not to be inferior to my grandmother to see her own grandson, but I have never seen my grandmother.
The park area is not large, through a tree-lined trail, a few minutes to this I distant visual many hearts are very familiar with the "Sam Houston" before the statue. Park visitors rarely, I a, and a chest with two Nikon camera man. The park is very quiet, only the highway near the car "rushing" flowing water voice, gave a scorching summer park brought a glimmer of cool. The park is very solemn, blue sky, white clouds, green forest, towering statue. "Sam Houston" the right hand column with a cane, left hand akimbo, upright, eyes to the front, the small park filled with the American national hero to the upright.
