Day 6

Again, I usually like to post my day's recap just before we lay our heads down at night but it just so happens that for the last couple of nights, that hasn't been possible. I'm starting to realize that although Texas has some pretty interesting sights, it may not be my favorite. Yesterday we drove all the way to San Antonio, where we parked, met some very friendly cats (it was difficult not to bring them home), & then headed for the Alamo.



A fairly large compound in the middle of a city, the Alamo isn't so much an amazing sight to see as it is something to be able to say you saw...if that made sense. Either way, I'm very glad I can now say I've been to the historic landmark. Once we were done taking pictures & getting postcards & souvenir shot glasses, we decided to see what all the buzz at the "river walk" was all about.

It's basically a bunch of restaurants & bars running along a gorgeous little river. Very romantic & a very nice walk after a long day of driving. We stopped at a nice little mexican place with mariachis & sampled some of the fare (including some really delicious margaritas!)

After we'd had our fill of the city, we started of driving again but after about an hour or so on the road, a SUPER thick mist surrounded everything & we decided it'd be best if we made plans to pack it in for the night. We spent the night at the KOA in Weimer TX & though being right next to the train tracks had us waking up every few hours, our new air mattress proved a solid investment. It sure was nice not to wake up on the ground again :-)
