San Antonio

This morning we headed out bright and early for some sightseeing in downtown San Antonio. We visited the Alamo first. We had not realized how many were in there for that final battle and that most of them were not from Texas. Some were from England and Scotland. They had the original Bowie knife on display and also a couple of the guns owned by Davie Crocket. I cannot imagine being in a battle like that and having to take the time to pour powder in your gun and put in some homemade rounds over and over again. Then we went over to the Riverwalk. We walked all around the lower level and took a boat tour of the river. We had quite an interesting tour guide. The river is not very wide and there are walkways on both sides plus bridges. He managed to get us through it all and kept us laughing besides giving us information on the buildings along the way. We had lunch at one of the places right on the river and then walked about 10 blocks to a Mexican Market that a friend had told me about. By the time we finished browsing through there, it was getting time to head back to our motel. Roger and Betty, our friends from Sioux Falls, have their RV parked about an hour north of San Antonio and we had plans to have dinner together. We went to the BBQ place next door to our motel and had a good dinner and a great time visiting.
Tomorrow we will be back on the road again. Next stop is Las Cruces, NM. According to the schedule, it will be 596 miles, so a long day.
