Remember the Alamo???

Well, really I don't remember much about it, having been schooled in New Jersey.  But we visited it today, and I was reminded how little I understand about history.  (Lots of Texan school groups there visiting with us, I noticed.) 

We spent time this afternoon in downtown San Antonio (obviously) and enjoyed a decent lunch at a cafe along the River Walk (though the restaurants there all seemed geared to tourists----tomorrow night we'll be in search of a more authentic Mexican meal!).  The River Walk itself is lovely, aside from the preponderence of restaurants.  We didn't explore it all today and will return tomorrow to see more.

Meanwhile out "urban camping" is going all right. There was MUCH highway noise last night---something we're not used to in Montpelier.  Tonight we'll try sleeping with the AC on and see if that helps. The RV resort is really rather nice.  I went to the pool after our touring today and chatted with some friendly fellow-RV'ers from Canada.  We also have visited with a couple from AZ who were on the same bus heading downtown today.  While there's not a lot of dog space here, it's a pretty good base for exploring the city.

Ranger seemed to survive fine, in air-conditioned comfort, while we played tourists today.

  1. Any unique birds at The Alamo or Riverwalk? I am keeping a running list and looking for birdsounds on the internet. Getting a head-start for that slideshow! Hey, Dan...how about some preview bird photos?
