Wednesday............San Antonio





After a quick breakfast in the Happy Days Motel breakfast room, we headed south on the now famous ROUGH Hwy69, OK still held up to their history of America's roughest roads. Finally as we arrived in Texas near Dennison, the road smoothed out.
South of Temple, TX we blended into I 35. That was a breeze to drive on. We took a picture of the entrance to Texas, a large brick monument, not just a sign.
As I said last year, Texans have such great pride in their state. The flag of Texas is every where, small, big, and giant size...like Perkins' American flags.
We drove across Dallas and suburbs, that was just shy of 60 miles, a big city. We hit Austin at 4PM rush hour, that took a while. We arrived in San Antonio about 5:30 found the La Quinta hotel downtown, checked in and caught the bus to the famous downtown river walk for dinner. A couple of margaritas and a Mexican dinner on the river walk while feeding the ducks at our feet......fun. A boat ride thru downtown, hearing about all the history and the buildings was fun too. 440 miles today brings the total to 1350 so far, now we will head back to Austin and then east to Lost Pines, TX for the reunion.
