Hello San Antonio, Goodbye House

We arrived in San Antonio today around 2.  This is a very nice campground with lots of space between sites. 

San Antonio is a very hilly area and, same as Houston, has lots of freeways with lots of lanes. This time of the year there isn’t a lot of green. The grass and trees are pretty brown. After getting set up, we drove back to San Antonio. We first went to the Alamo. We had time to look around and then a guide gave us an overview of what happened here in the 1830’s. Quite interesting.

Then we walked to The Riverwalk. This is the San Antonio River that winds through the city and they have made a city park along it. There are statues, fountains, hotels, restaurants and shops, and gardens all along the walk. We took a gondola tour along the river.

Tomorrow we’re going to do some motorcycling in the Texas Hill Country. It’s supposed to be in the low 70’s and sunny – yippee!

Also today Kath, our realtor, called with the news that the closing on the house went well. This is good news and takes a lot of pressure off of us. For so long we thought that we’d need to get an alternate plan to cover the house while we hit the road but we got the offer right before we left. Thanks to Kath and Dave, the paperwork got signed and processed while we continued on our adventure. We’re happy, but leaves me (Paige) with some sadness also. As Valentina recently said as she came into the house, “I’ll miss this house. There are so many memories here.” This is so true! But we’ll be making new memories with all our friends and family also!
