South Padre Island!!
Yes, TWO exclamation points!! This place is beautiful. The way here was dotted with HUGE windmill farms, our pics do not adequately show the magnitude how many there really are. The troubling part is all of the negative publicity we see about them, from how the blades are not recyclable and must be buried, to

Horse Drawn Carriage Tours
Downtown San Antonio has several of these available. At $75 per couple for about a half hour we decided to pass but found them kind of neat to see. Also interesting, especially in today’s economic trade climate, is a sculpture gifted to the United States from Mexico in recognition of the importance of the relationship.

Remember The Alamo!!
Today we returned to downtown San Antonio to tour the old church and fort, former mission. There is a massive amount of history behind this monument that I had not realized before today. I’ll not bore anyone with details but will say that if you visit the area and you appreciate history be sure to

San Antonio Riverwalk
We decided to visit the Riverwalk later in the day hoping to avoid the hotter weather. Took the bus into town and walked the last two or three blocks there. Went past the Alamo and got a nice pic of it with the moon in the background, We will visit there tomorrow. Went to Jimmy

San Antonio KOA
One of the nicest campgrounds we have had the pleasure of staying in. Plenty of room, and a dog park big enough that we can actually use the ball launcher for Rosie! Stacy took them for a walkabout on the path surrounding the campground, and then for a dip to cool off from the 86

Japanese Tea Gardens
Wow. We had heard that the Japanese Tea Gardens were a must see if in San Antonio, but mere words cannot describe the beauty, design and atmosphere created here. Ray Lambert, Commissioner of the Parks Dept in 1916 took over the former limestone and concrete quarry and with his vision created something that today is

San Antonio!
After two weeks in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we broke camp this morning and headed for San Antonio. Even though we were up at 6:30 by the time breakfast was eaten, laundry was done, and everything disconnected and put away, it wasn’t until 10:00 that we found ourselves on the road again. Isn’t that the

Last Day In Arlington
Stacy is spending our last day here with Kara and TOlivia while I went to Argyle, TX to pick up a cargo box found on Facebook Marketplace. We discovered early on that this newer camper has much more livable space than the old one, but significantly less storage space. We are both guilty of packing

Texas Observations
While TOlivia (that’s Olivia, aka Trouble with a capital T), is napping, thought I’d share some thoughts about our experiences in this expansive state. The first thing is that it’s mostly flat with relatively few trees. I mean, there are trees, but not forests or even clumps of wooded areas like at home. Some small

BUSY Sunday!!
We started out having brunch at daughter Kara’s restaurant, Lupe Tortilla, where she is the GM. They make an Eggs Benedict Mexican style with a corn tortilla instead of an english muffin, and use crab instead of ham or canadian bacon. That along with a bloody mary started out the day right! From there we
