Although there was a group outing scheduled for San Antonio today, only Ken Rasure, Christi, and I ended up on the trip. I had never visited San Antonio before so I was plowing new ground. The visit to the Alamo, guided by Ken, a fourth generation Texan, clearly impressed upon us why the Alamo is a shrine to Texas spirit and independence, and rightly deserved.
The River Walk was a treat, as was the boat ride, and a big lunch of great Mexican food was almost my undoing. Christi enjoyed the hike to the market area far more than I, but Ken and I got to have a great visit on the bench in the market people watching.
The return trip to Kerrville, on back roads directed by Ken, was a great view of the Texas hill country, not at all what I expected, and we ended up in Utopia!
Good times! We are anxious to return later in the year and spend more time...and here are a few of the sights....
