Bamberger Ranch – Austin – Texas

One of the most famous ranches in central Texas we had the great opportunity to meet the group of Sub IALS Fellows and students of Latin American center.
The ranch owner Mr. David Bamberger had a little talk on the ranch as he started he told us on the ranch is 5,500 hectares on the ranch before there was neither water nor electricity, Bamberger Ranch said that nobody wants because it had such services, the Bamberger Ranch bought it in 1969, he was determined to show what the land could be again, Bamberger said he got the idea for a ranch when his mother gave him a book about life on the farm he read the book seven times, after reading the book Bamberger, decided that no case of a man now in the ranch is now a masterpiece of careful conservation of the environment, still use the benefit.
Visit Bamberger Ranch is a pretty fun trip tree hours, is a place where different is surrounded by hardwood trees, and grass prairies surrounding many kinds of animals.
IALS group I went We make a practice of our race, cooking a bit of work but fun, was a meeting where they reached the ranch also Bamberger fellows like us, but they came only three weeks for students of Central America from Nicaragua, Salvador, Republic Dominican Republic, and Honduras at the ranch were for three days in that period of time the students came from middle class America had leadership guidance as to help their community, and how to fix, also in the group we share in these classes IALS that gave them both the program, they also shared the experiences that we lived in their countries, and we share the experience we're having here in San Antonio is very nice experience for me, to know people from other countries, I also have the idea as to start a nature tourism in the environmental care in the future.
