About 8.30 a.m. we could hear the park rangers out with chainsaws. Oh NO! Not chainsaws in Texas. We were lucky, it was just the fact the winds bought down quite a few trees through the night.
The Guadalupe river, which also ran through the park, was really quite pretty.
It was still very windy, but didn't make the drive into San Antonio too bad.
San Antonio looked as good as it did 20 years ago.
We checked into Days Inn to allow us WIFI hookup and good access to Down Town. 3004458
Down Town was great - WIFI not so good.
I do wonder how Hiker Mike managed to remember where "Durty Nelly's Irish Pub" was, so quickly, when he has trouble remembering yesterday. It was 20 years ago when we were last here.
Very glad he did remember, we stopped in for a beer and wine (go figure), and there was quite a party going on. The army and the marines were challenging each other to singing along with the piano player. We were in no hurry to leave!
It is quite a special weekend in San Antonio this weekend.
But then I have never been to San Antonio when it was not a special weekend.
It was "Fiesta" Day today. Which is San Antonio's Mardi Gras.
I did get two strings of beads - we won't go into the reasoning of the Mardi Gras beads!!
There was a great Band playing at the stage along the River Walk.
Always so much going on, so much to see and do.
We wandered the river walk and the stores before heading back to our room.
It began to cool off some, but still nice and bright.
Wifi still not good, so just left note on blog, and finally, some time later, here I am reliving that fabulous weekend.
We both agree that San Antonio is just as exciting as it was 20 years ago.
What a great day!,
Can't wait for tomorrow. That is to be another special day, as it is the 175th Anniversay of the Falling of the Alamo, and there is to be a re-enactment of that day.
