So, move on. The next morning I went to the 'Pacific War Museum ', Which is only 2 blocks away from my motel. There once was a nice change to see that in the second World war not only against the German left, but there were other enemies. The museum is not limited only to this war, but showed a
uch the rise of Japan of the samurai era to the present time. The museum was designed by a variety of films and interactive displays very appealing. There was, for example. screens, which were sen in tables eingelas and tactics of the Navy on cards Wed t F ilmauschnitten very ANSC haulich presented. From the plan it was somewhat confusing because the rooms are not rectangular, but were polygonal. Sun one was led by a generous 'Tube', which, however, occasionally e inen alternative offered way, resulting in a very quickly lose track of lies. After I had seen everything, I wandered a bit through the aisles until I (rather by accident) the output discovered. So that the museum was still far from over, because there was the Japanese Garden, the Plaza of Presidents, the Memorial Courtyard, several souvenir shops and the Combat Zone. The Japanese Garden is a foundation of the Japanese Consulate and leg 
keep fountain and bonsai trees. The Plaza of Presidents is a place to which all presidents of the United States were honored, who had also served in the Navy. The Memorial Courtyard is a long yellow limestone walls, are mounted on which hundreds of black boards, maps to which officers, ships and troops, which in the Pacific had served. The most interesting (besides the Ha uptmuseum), however, the 'Pacific Combat Zone, which was located 2 blocks from the main Museum. On this great site EWAR some exhibits to see, which I had never seen before like. Landing craft or a PT-boat (torpedo boat) Also, Japanese fortifications were reproduced very realistically. All in all, this museum is very recommended, as it for the relatively low entry price of only $ 12 offers up to 8 hours of computer science deep conversation. After the museum I wanted a little stroll through the city, but fell into the water, literally, as it began a fairly intense showers. Since I had already checked out of the motel and I did not know when it would again be dry, I decided to drive to El Paso. Since the trip there according to Google Maps takes about 8 hours, I was looking for me from a stop. The choice was Fort Davis, which geometry would be reached in about 5 hours. Since most attractions close in the U.S. to 17 ° ° Clock at their doors and exit of Fredericksburg was already 16 ° °, looking I e about 1 hour before arrival for a motel. I could have gone a little w pus, but I was already in the area of Texas where you can travel several kilometers 
without even signs of life I wanted to explore and take risks and may have to sleep in the car. I knew at the time so not sure if it picked up at Fort Davis, just a historic site or a city / village is. There was a small ne village which was built around the former Fort . The road to Fort Davis himself was a very beautiful thing. Up to the motel, the landscape was very green with rolling hills. It was, as I have already written, a landscape, as I would have never imagined in Texas. Shortly after the motel began in the landscape to change. The dark green trees 
he became less and the rolling hills were transformed to the classic Wild West backdrop. Yucapalmen and cacti (but not as we know from Lucky Luke books) edged n nu n the road. When the road went over the mountains / hills, we had an incredible view and it was ready to sit to see John Wayne or Clint Eastwoo d by the roadside on a horse. Now and then I had to continuation th to shoot a photo. Unfortunately, my digicam is not able to capture in this madness landscape and mood. Here I would probably need a much better equipment. had arrived in Fort Davis, I pleasantly surprised because it was not the way I had imagined. I expected a fortified with loopholes, but that
was nothing to entdechen. It was rather a 'military town'. It was restored in only a few buildings, the rest was only so far repaired to prevent e inen further decay. Many buildings were uern but only the lower 20cm of Grundma 
. This fact is worth to any negative, because the whole area looks so very authentic competition. If one is a little attention can be on the ground and among the ruins again old items such as cartridge cases, or look 
metal fittings, which were from the park staff are not picked up purposely for the visitor to this kind of self- to make an archaeologist. The take of these objects is however 
prohibited explicitly. Just off the houses there are some old, short hiking trails that lead up to d s hills. Due to the irregular steps, which were built of boulders, the slope and the heat of these trails, even if they are only a few miles long, not to be underestimated. The road is worth it, because you can enjoy this unique landscape and view its best. Since the average American is very critical of effort, I had this experience just for me alone. I saw no one who would have dared even to the first stage. So much for today.
