Houston, San Antonio!

ALAMO!






SAN ANTONIO RIVERWALK

Today we are in San Antonio, and hope to post a few images from the Alamo, Riverwalk, and a few city scenes. It is HOT, we took an afternoon break and saw the latest Harry Potter movie, we both liked it with some reservations, but it was a SUPERB way to relax a bit and beat the 104 degree afternoon heat.

Tomorrow we go to Sonora, TX, and hope to see the caverns there. That reminds me, better get a reservation!

Please remember that all comments, suggestions, etc., are MOST welcome.............. Judy & Jack

Houston Fine Arts Museum.


We arrived in San Antonio after a longer than expected drive from Houston, accidents and a mis cue from our otherwise trusty GPS, Hermione. We whirled around in circles on hair raising ramps in Houston rush hour, but finally made it to I10 West. THEN we ran into a huge slowdown due to an accident - ah, the joys of travel!
Houston was full of art, the Fine Arts Museum is HUGE, filled with a highly varied collection. Alas, they were very negative about photography, contrary to what their web site states. Wehave some images of the sculpture garden, and a few that Judy snuck in from the African gold exhibit. We have a nice room in SA, plan to stay for a luxurious 2 days in our spacious room. We should hustle now, ere it gets TOO hot, and see what the famed "River Walk" is all about. I'll post a few images from Houston.
