San Antonio, PM (but two days later)

Computer glitches, busy schedules and fatigue have kept me from keeping up with the blog this weekend.

Our afternoon in San Antonio was delightful. The weather has been wonderful and we have enjoyed staying ahead of any bad weather. The Alamo was really quite interesting. Seems the Mexican government encouraged immigration , then Santa Anna reniged on the deal and started pushing out the settlers. The Alamo stood strong against Mexican dictator, but to a man, they were killed. I learned most of this from the IMAX movie I saw! We toured the grounds and enjoyed many of the exhibits. Don loved hearing about his boyhood hero, Davey Crockett (what self-respecting little boy in the 50's didn't have a 'coonskin cap?).

We then bought bus passes and toured around town. Seems that San Antonio is a really livable city. In the evening we got together with my grade school/high school friend Pat. We had so many laughs over "our early years." I am hoping that the great stories we told will encourage Don to attend my next hs reunion! Don is still raving about the dinner he had at Las Canarias. We really did enjoy the company and the food.
