A beautiful evening - a great end to a wonderful day!

  



Today was San Antonio day. Boy did we hit it lucky all the way around. First - there is a HUGE festival going on all week in town. It’s the “Festival San Antonio” . It has to do with remembering the battle at the Alamo. Second - there was easy over 300,000 people in town & us not really knowing where we are going ended up at a parking garage right down town & easy in & out. Then the weather - it was perfect, not too hot & a nice breeze. We started out at the river walk - took a boat & checked out the river. This was a great way to get a look at the city. It was a beautiful ride. Lunch was the next order of business. We had a great lunch in a Mexican restaurant right on the river. Then on to “The Battle of Flowers Parade.” We were standing on the street watching the parade when a young lady approached us and started asking us questions about our visit to San Antonio. - she was a reported for the local paper. Tomorrow we just may see our names in print in the San Antonio news paper. We were told this parade is the only one in the United States that is put on by all women and it is probably the second largest just second to the Tournament of Roses Parade. It was truly something to see. We then went and checked out the Alamo. It was very moving to see all the floats stop in front of the Alamo Chapel and leave flowers in remembrance of all those who fought at the Alamo. You will see a picture of this. After a day checking out this cool city we headed back to our camp site and did a little chillaxing before heading up to Austin tomorrow.
