Okay

Try as he might, the tweaker that lives down the street from me cannot seem to get his motor running.
 
Lazed around this morning, finally finished packing and loaded up the trunk.

Took lots of boring pictures of the highway, fields, odd signs, trucks, trucks, and more trucks. Won't show those to you yet. Going to wait until you've been particularly bad.
 
Went to La Margarita Restaurant across the street for dinner and live musicians.

Tex-Mex Enchiladas with rice, beans, and guacamole. They gave me amaretta flan with chocolate sauce for free. :phprazz:
 
About to get ready and go this morning. First stop - breakfast and coffee. Then, check out and find a parking place downtown. After that, visit the Alamo. The River Walk is not far from there so I'll walk over there. Might take another boat ride this time - it is a nice little ride. Want to do a little shopping though I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for. Always up for jewelry and blouses. After that, lunch at Rainforest Cafe. I've seen it going to and from the River Walk but have never stopped in. The people that are usually with me don't want to go. But, since I'm here by myself this time, I can do what I want. So, I'm going. I understand it is another shopping opportunity. Be still my heart. After lunch I'm heading back to Austin to check into my hotel there around 3. I'd like to take a nap before my friends arrive. We are having dinner at the Oasis to watch the sunset. The place is famous for it. Not sure what we're doing after that. It depends on how tired they are since they are working half a day today then driving from Dallas to Austin. They aren't spring chickens either. Plus, we've got plans starting early tomorrow so they may want to get to bed early. Anyway, will hopefully have better pictures to share tonight.
 
Today was a big day with lots of ups and a downer. Spent about four hours touring the alamo, exploring the River Walk, having lunch at Rainforest Cafe, shopping at The Farmer's Market, and walking around downtown San Antonio. The place is huge - didn't even see a 10th of it. And, it is beautiful there - a feast for the eyes. Even left my car behiind and took the trolley downtown. Being without my car handy is something I haven't done in a couple of decades. It was a weird feeling but I could get used to not having a car again if I lived someplace with public transportation as good as it is in San Antonio.

Then drove to Austin. On the highway there, a big rock flew out of nowhere and hit my car, leaving a bad spot on the right corner panel and the back of the right side mirror. That is going to lower the trade-in value. Then, was hung up in traffic for a couple of hours trying to go just 5 miles.

The traffic held up my friends too. We didn't make it to the snazzy restaurant in time to watch the sunset but we did get there. It is a very nice place, very visual, music, dancing, a bar, food, and a view. Another place to put on the to-do list whenever I go to Austin.

I'll show pictures later - got some pretty good ones today. Right now I'm wiped.
 
Only thing on the radio today was Mexican or Country. Listened to an all Mexican radio station for awhile because when I scanned across it they were playing Santana. I love
Santana. After they finished playing Santana, I moved on. Finally settled on one when I heard this song - brought to mind some TKers and people I play with on UO.
