November 18,
San Antonio, TX
We spent the morning taking showers and doing laundry which seems to take no less than 2 hours every time we do it. Now that we are all clean as well as our clothes, we went to town.
First stop, the Alamo. it is located right in the center of the city. Hotels, and mega-malls surround the Alamo. It is a bit difficult to imagine what it looked like back in the day of Davy Crockett.
The River Walk was only a block away from The Alamo so we headed over there. It was charming. We walked all around enjoying the ambience of River. We had lunch on the sidewalk (we have Jack) at Landry’s. Mark is on a quest to try out gumbo where ever he goes. Texas Gumbo does not compare to Louisiana gumbo. He should have known that but he wanted to try it out anyway.
The day was a relaxing one aside from the walk around the city. We strolled along the River and thoroughly enjoyed the sites. San Antonio is a beautiful city. It is clean and full of tourists. The restaurants are numerous and looked very delicious. We certainly enjoyed our lunch at Landry’s.
There was a noticeably large number of families with their young Air Force sons and daughters. We never found out exactly why but perhaps it was due to Thanksgiving break. Many of the mothers had pins indicating their pride in their sons or daughters. I must be getting old but the Air Force men and women looked very young.
