Night #3

So you all remember the Alamo?? Haha well it might be a little hard to miss if your driving in San Antonio. You'd think they'd have a huge shrine the way everyone talks about it but no, false, it's smaller than the World's Largest Frying Pan (Highway 40 and go into Rosehill, NC take exit 380 and a right off the exit & a right at the first light and then about a quarter mile down the road it's on your right!). Now let me remind you the world's largest frying pan holds up to 365 chickens and weighs 2 ton (4,000 lbs). Now if you haven't seen the frying pan make sure to stop by next time on your way to the north carolina beaches, life is not complete without seeing it. We saw the Alamo which took a total of about 5 minutes, snapped a few pictures and badda bing badda boom we were done with that! Next was the riverwalk. One word, WOW!! It is beautiful, like a mixture of downtown Santa Barbara and Boston's Fannell Hall on a river. If you haven't already seen it make sure to add it to your "must see before I kick the bucket" list. I suggest going when it's NOT 95 degrees and when the sun isn't scorching. We took the riverboat which took us all throughout the heart of the city. Again, dying from heat exhaustion, but absolutely gorgeous. The way the trees drap over the river and the little shops all along the sidewalks, it's so awesome. Fun fact: at the end of the year about 200 people will have fallen into the river right off the sidewalk, GO NIMRODS!! According to our tour guide, more often than not those falls occur on friday, saturday, or sunday nights. We left the city to drive out to see Dad's old air force base, Lackland A.F.B. which is where we got to see DAVEY. One of the many surprises that Dad has hit me with. That was AWESOME!! He's growing a mohawk, crazy kid :) we took him to dinner at this build your own bowl of stir fry. Pretty cool, just don't overload on those spices otherwise your normal little stir fry will turn into one hot tamale. He showed us a little of the grounds and then had to go for some type of inspection,bummer dude. He says he misses everybody and can't wait to be able to see everybody. We left him and now were driving to our campsite somewhere in Junction, TX. Well see how this goes our first camping experience of the trip, yeah I'm pretty intrigued to see how it goes too.
Song of today: All My Ex's Live In Texas by George Jones.
No more armadillo sightings but we did see a dead cat, second of the trip, and a LIVE deer in the median. Also had a second encounter with a hobo and we were harrassed by a piegon, yeah let's not talk about that one.
It appears these budget cuts are greatly affecting our sleeping accomidations let's hope for a turn in the stock market soon, PLEASE!!! More to come...
