San Antonio

Today started out how all great days in the United States should- with a trip to the IHOP. After a delicious breakfast, we spent the day doing touristy stuff in San Antonio. The first stop was of course the Alamo. The stranger who took the awesomely-framed picture above was super nice, continuing the trend of pretty much everyone we've met thus far. Looking around the Alamo, the gift shop and mass crowds made it hard to imagine the chaos that occurred there long ago for just a handful of American soldiers. Speaking of the gift shop, I got in a little bit of trouble today. I did not realize that there was a rule against picture taking when inside any Alamo structure. I was told to put my camera away, but not before snagging some awesome pictures of a model Alamo battle.

We then checked into our hotel- the Holiday Inn River Walk. The reason we chose this particular hotel was for its obvious proximity to its namesake- the River Walk. This is an interesting walkway that goes through some of the city and connects the Alamo with restaurants and hotels. T'was very pretty. We found a Tex-Mex patio along the route called Rita's. IT WAS SO MUCH FOOD... BUT SO GOOD!

The full album for today will be posted here. Tomorrow I will edit the video footage from today whilst on the road to Odessa Texas. Hopefully I can upload that for you from our new hotel!

Catch you on the flip side,
