Today we visited the Alamo. I was never good at history in school so this is all new to me. I remember enough about my history lessons to know what it is about but the details escape me. This was a good history lesson for me. On display was Jim Bowie's knife (remember the Bowie knife) and Davy Crocket's rifle and a lock of his hair. WOW, over 169 years old.
San Antonio is a mess to try to get around. There's got to be 50 highways (well maybe not that many) that run everywhere. And a lot of them overlap so you can be on 3 or 4 at the same time. OK I'll admit it, I got lost. We ended up in a shady side of town. A gentleman noticed I was looking at a map and probably noticed the California plates on the car and asked if he could help. He got us going in the right directions and told us to "be careful". What did he mean by that?

We also took The River Walk. This is a 2.5 mile path around a portion of the San Antonio River that is lined with mostly restaurants. I wish I had known about the restaurants before we ate at the Pizza Hut across from the Alamo. We may go back for dinner sometime before we leave.
