San Antonio, AM

I just emailed Audrey and told her that it is a luxury to stay in one place for two nights. However, I also countered that it is also nice to wake up in the morning and face an entirely new adventure.
We had Tex-Mex food last night along the Riverwalk. This morning, it definitely was gym time. Luckily, there was a big bowl of apples at the gym and that was breakfast for me (not the whole bowl…just one). It’s not that I am cheap, it’s that I have determined that I haven’t met a menu I didn’t like.


Returning to our room, reminded me that we have been in almost a dozen hotels the last two weeks. Keeping room numbers straight has been an “issue.” “We are in 208.” “No, it’s 412.” “This hotel doesn’t have 4 floors.” “Oh.”

We are going to tour the Alamo today. Don only let me see a little bit of it yesterday. He likes to delay the “good times.” Hmm, a fort where hundreds were killed is “good times.” That thought leads me back to the 9th ward in New Orleans. I guess MOST of our significant sites relate to some kind of destruction.

I hope to meet up with a St. Jude’s grade school and Elyria Catholic HS (go Panthers) classmate of mine tonight.

Off to Remember the Alamo.
