Infinity on the road: Feb 20 Sunday to Feb 22, 2011 Tuesday, San Antonio, TX

Now that we are in Texas we are only one hour time difference from Ottawa.

We left Lake Amistad, Del Rio in fog, once again, for San Antonio about 9:30 as it’s only a few hours away. Most uninteresting drive through waste land and scruff land, except for some very high winds! Lunch on road and we were here by 2:30, however, on hwy #410 the ring road around San Antonio to Hwy #37 Carol & Larry’s awning flew out with the high winds. (Mark you have to do this) So we pulled over but we were ¼ mile in the difference, however the two of them salvaged their awning with a lot hard of work and we proceeded to the Braunig RV Resort. Nice Park and we’re staying for 3 nights. The awning we don’t know yet! Monday, we booked the Alamo Bus Tour, they picked us up in the park and took us downtown where we started our tour of the Japanese Sunken Gardens, beautiful place but the frost of two weeks ago killed a lot of the flowers however the gardens and the ponds were wonderful to see. We continued on to the River Walk for a river boat ride along the River Walk, wonderful again but we unfortunately had overcast sky and some drizzle, but that did not dampen the pleasure of seeing this wonderful place. Then we were off to the Buckhorn Saloon and Museum, lots of interesting wild life to see in their exhibit form! We had lunch at Pat O’Brien’s Pub then walked two blocks up to “The Alamo” established in 1718 as a Mission, where Davy Crocket plus 186 valiant men sacrificed their lives fighting for Texas Independence. During the sunny/warm afternoon we visited the Mission San Jose which is being restored and then to El Mercado, interesting but full of junk we don’t want anymore! Finally back home at the Braunig Lake RV about 5:30 we sat outside and talked about our wonderful day! Tuesday, and it’s a cloudy dreary day so good time for a relaxing morning and a Sunday morning breakfast! Then we went shopping with a tour of Home Depot, Big Lots and Walmart, oh did I memtion a stop at Chase Bank! Lunch out and home by 2:00; made a pot of spaghetti sauce; squeezed out the last of my fresh Yuma grapefruits into juice, then sat outside for a short Happy Hour before starting to once again pack up. Tomorrow (Wednesday) we are leaving on Hwy #37 South to Hwy # 281 and will stop somewhere in the McAllen/Mission/Phar area. Not sure yet. (Ruth, it was wonderful talking to you this evening)
