San Antonio-Jan 26th

Hey There...well here we are in New Braunfels, a quaint little german town near San Antonio. The weather was gorgeous yesterday and we went into San Antonio to the River Walk and to the Alamo. It was fantastic. Ate lunch at a restaurant called Michelinos. It was really good.

On the way out of the Alamo, ole Grace here, wasnt paying attention to where she was walking because there were a group of soldiers doing a promotional ad and I was trying to get a picture and up pops a curb in the middle of nowhere...oh yes I did a triple gainer right there on the plaza in front of the Alamo......me and Davy went down at the Alamo. Luckily I did a pretty good roll till I landed on my arse so not much damage was done. The worst damage was to my dignity. I wonder how many photos I will show up in later :(

It really was a great day, perfect weatherwise and the boat ride was great.

Have been visiting with Aunt Vicki and we are having a great time. We are leaving tomorrow so probobly will spend the day with her. She looks so good and is in really good health for 83. I love her.

We found a wonderful casino in Kinder, La called Coushatta. They had a lot of extras there such as a self service bar where you could help yourself to coffee, soft drinks, cappachino, teas, and even 2 flavors of icees. They even handed out boxes of popcorn while you were playing. I thought the place was really cool.

My friend Vicki did really well there, she couldnt seem to do any wrong. She sat down next to me and proceeded to win almost a 1000 dollars on a 2 coin bet. It was uphill from there. I just kept donating to the people. Anyhow, I was very jealous but glad somebody won. (of course I wished it was me)

Tomorrow we will be in our way to Mercedes for our month stint at Llano Grande. Vicki and Steve will be there so we should have a good time, they will be there for a couple weeks with us before they are on their way to New Mexico. We will see some of our other friends there as well. Going to play a lot of card, new games and old. Should be a good time.

I am really enjoying this lifestyle, its kind of fun just staying somewhere when you like it. This place is pretty nice and if I wasnt visiting family I could get into some activities here. They have many. Maybe next year. Who knows.

We are buffeting our way across the US and it is not good. Moo Moo Moo. Starting to crave veggies and fruit. We have decided no more fast food. We ate pretty healthy for a few days and we feel so much better. I have to stop drinking sweet tea so have tried ordering water instead. Man, that tea is yummy.

Missing my friends at home but not the weather, it is hard to believe there is snow somewhere and I have to keep reminding myself that it is January.

So, until we meet again..........happy trails my loves.
