San Antonio Trip!

Sup?

How are you doing? We are doing OK.

Here is a bit about our wonderful trip to San Antonio, Texas. Enjoy!

21 May 13

We arrived in at the San Antonio airport at about 1:00pm. It was an uneventful flight. We picked up our luggage and we caught the Thrifty Car Rental shuttle bus to pick up our car.

We are driving a Dodge Avenger and it is pretty nice. The weather here is hot and humid. We checked into our room at the Springhill Suites. We are about 6 miles from the downtown area. My brother Herman has done it again for us. We have a very nice suite and we are located near everything. Thank you Herman.

We unload the car and we take a short break for a Jack and Coke to take the edge off. We were hungry so we went next door to the Jack in the Box. Elise ordered two tacos and a drink. I ordered a burger and fries with a smoothie. It was good.

We were both worried about how Tangye was doing and it put a damper on our trip. We contacted her husband several times a day to keep up to date on her condition.

We left to hotel at 2:45pm to get our bearing in San Antonio. We had our GPS to aid us. I think the heat and humidity affected it as well because a one point she was giving us some bad directions. So we relied on the folding map. Smile!

We parked the car in a parking lot in the downtown area. We walked along the Riverwalk and there is a lot of people here. We walked and walked and walked some more. We enjoyed it but it was starting to get too warm and sticky. I bet it is awful here in July and August.

We decide to see a movie at the "IMAX".  We saw what was billed as the truest presentation of the battle at the Alamo. It was very good, not like the one with John Wayne. 

We walked some more and we decided to eat at "Landry's". We got a table right on the Riverwalk under a beautiful tree. Elise ordered a very dry martini. I ordered Mojito! Elise's came with a surprise that was not a good one. One of the birds (shat) on her shoulder. That is the past tense for (shit). 

I told her to dip her napkin in some water and to clean it up, and to hope that it did not stain. YUK! Elise enjoyed her stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon and jalapenos. The order also came with dirty rice.

I ordered fried fish, fries and grilled shrimp on a stick. I also had shrimp in a cheese sauce. It was all good and I was very hungry. Were is a smoothie when you need it!

We were feeding the ducks and a variety of other birds. They love onion rings, fries, and fish. They did not like olives or lettuce. We are stuffed to the gills.

We make it back to our car and we head back to the Springhill Suites. We stop in a liquor store and we picked up a bottle of Jack. We also picked up a fun thing to give to Jane and John. It is a little naughty, they will love it without a doubt.

We are back our room and we are relaxing, resting and enjoying a few Jack and Cokes. Our first day in San Antonio is just about to end.
