Warm San Antonio

Hello,

We spent three full days in San Antonio. The weather was just perfect. Each day was warm, but not too warm with the sun shining. I had my protective gear: hat, long sleeved shirt, and sunscreen. Even though one day was high 70’s or low 80’s it did not seem hot, guess it must be the dry air.

Our friends were the perfect tour guides. We were driven around, escorted on tours, and introduced to great restaurants. The sights were interesting, food delicious, and laughter abounded. We spent some full days taking in a variety of sights. From the usual tourist things; the Alamo and the river walk to exploring the hill country, a wildflower seed farm, and Buc-ee’s gas station store. We also went to the SAS shoe outlet that is really more like a department store with quite an old time flair to it. I did manage to buy only one pair of shoes. I do not really need so many shoes at the moment, plus it had to fit in my carryon bag as we did not check a bag. Leroy settled for a pair of fine socks. At least we are now well shod.

Our wonderful hosts picked us up at midnight when we arrived and took us back to the airport before 4:00 am. I appreciate the sleep sacrifices that they incurred. We were blessed indeed. It was a great trip that was basically just with adults and none of our family. What a departure! It was a new experience.
