San Antonio, TX

After spending 5 months in one place it's been an experience to remember how to pack up the rig and move it down the road in a timely manner.  :)  Texas is so big that poor Gary has been driving for long periods of time to get anywhere.  After 7.5 hours of driving from Terlingua, TX we arrived in San Antonio.  Talk about a night and day difference!  We went from a town where the population is 58 to the 7th largest city in America.  Whew! 
We of course did The Alamo and rented audio guides.  I learned a lot which made it even more near and dear to my heart.  :)  Fun fact: The soldiers were not defending The Alamo, they were defending the city of San Antonio which was just across the river.  Yes, the same river that now plays host to the famous Riverwalk. 
Speaking of, the Riverwalk is indeed a very special and beautiful place.  It is natural but also has man made off shoots that were made for the World's Fair in the 60's.  Many of the locals will tell you not to eat along there because it's mediocre food for tourist prices but I was willing to pay a few dollars extra for the ambiance and I was not disappointed.  :)  Plus, my steak was pretty dang good! 
We also did a day of exploring the suburbs (which were beautiful and quiet) and going to an old brewery that the city has done a fantastic job of turning into restaurants and boutiques.  SO fun! 
To round out our adventure, we spent a day at Sea World.  I never tire of seeing the Orcas and the Belugas.  :)  Such majesty in the water.
