River Walk and Howl at the Moon

Howl at the Moon is a very cool dueling pianos bar. Similar to Savannah Smiles. We highly recommend it

Day 7

Today we drove to El Paso from San Antonio. For those of you who have driven I16 between Macon and Savannah and complain about it.... you ain't seen nothin! West Texas makes 16 feel like a riveting, adrenaline packed driving experience. Similar to driving through South Dakota, the total lack of scenery is interesting for the first 5 minutes and then you sink into a kind of boredom that cannot be put into words. One thing I will say for Texas, they know how to set a speed limit through west bumble... 80mph, so we spent the whole time at around 90. There are a couple of pictures of the drive.

Dad, in case you were curious your car has a speed governor at 130mph. See picture for details.

Day 6

Ok well we went around San Antonio yesterday and explored. We went and saw and walked through the Alamo which was pretty interesting. There is a whole lot of history there. Took some pictures but haven't loaded them yet. Then we went down the riverwalk which is basically a little river that runs through town with a whole bunch of restaurants, shops, bars, and hotels all along it. They also have little water taxi things that run up and down it. Its definitely the big tourist area. Went back there for dinner last night and ate at a bbq place called County Line. It was really good. Not the best I've ever had but still really good. Was a little different to have bbq beef though.

Story Time

We went to dinner on the River Walk tonight, right along the canal where the pidgeons and ducks roam and beg for chips. Now for the story, in some of these words you'll need to change a letter, if you can't figure this out let me know.

There were these two ducks, a boy duck and a girl duck, The girl duck was bent over eating a chip and it was more than the boy duck could stand. The boy duck walks up and starts trying to duck the girl duck. Well she wasn't having any of his duckin around and knocked him off. In shock the boy duck turns back around, the girl duck comes after him and bites him on the butt. He runs off hanging his head in shame. The girl duck then stood there and bitched about it for the next 5 minutes. Guess he forgot their anniversary or somethin. Boys... no means no! Don't be a ducked duck.

For sound just think about Donald Duck throwing a temper tantrum in an old Disney cartoon.

Day 5

Ok well we are now in San Antonio. Irony struck hard on the way though cause the a/c went out in the car. It did fine until today but today not so much. Anyway glad it was on a short leg cause we got pretty hot in the car. Also dropped the car off at the local Audi dealer to get fixed. Which is good if they can figure it out. Bad though cause now we don't have GPS which is how we were getting around. Now we are using maps which sucks. So hopefully they will get the car fixed before we have to take it back and drive to El Paso. We'll see though.
