Hot!

It's hot today down here!  We are back from our tour.  Overall it was a lot of fun.  The people were friendly and nice but it was a lot of walking.  First the Japanese tea garden which was pretty but a bit of walking.  Next the mall and the riverfront boat tour.  The mall was a typical mall but the riverfront boat tour was nice.  Watched an IMAX movie about the Alamo and then lunch.  Alamo (big thumbs down).  It was dull and basically nothing there.  A real tourist trap.  Next was 2 other missions.  The first one was Mission San Jose or something like that and was really neat.  It was 100% more enjoyable than the Alamo.  The next mission (Mission Conception) was nice but would only do it as part of a tour.  No point in driving all that way to see basically 4 rooms or so.  Last was the Market Square and a big tbbbbtttt (that's the equivalent of a big raspberry) to the Market Square.  It was a waste of time except for this:

You got it.  A new hat (sombrero) for Patrick and I.

Another funny thing.  You know how everything is bigger in Texas?  That works for everything except rivers.  Here's the river that goes through San Antonio (further upstream):

That is not a joke and is what the tour guide told us.  Not exactly the "Mighty Mississippi".

Tomorrow we are sorta headed home.  Going to New Braunfels for some German food.  Maybe have Mexican food tonight.
