So stoked to get out of Van Horn!

So... this morning, Mary and I decided to get up at 5:30 AM and get the ef out of dodge.  It was really that bad.  Room reservations were screwed up.. town was small and slightly sketch.... So far, Texas was rubbing us wrong!  From El Paso to Van Horn... yowzers!  So, Mary set the alarm in the room, just in case.  Good thing she did!  We had NO wake-up call.  As we were already irritated with the place i said before we left, "hey, Mary, pick up the phone and see if it even works."  She did and no dial-tone!  Needless to say - we shook our heads and blamed it on Texas (our luck here hasn't been so good).  Gas station was our only coffee option and even that was bad.  I will stop here, but there's more......

Moving on!  We were headed to San Antonio.  

6:44 am departure

1:20 PM arrival

433 miles.  

Scenery went from dull and nada to hilly & covered in trees.

Below you will see a few new entries of pics, but the ones in this entry were our welcome to the rest of Texas.  We arrived early in San Antonio because we knew we would want to look around.  What a great idea!  We had a great afternoon!!  Earlier, we flew out of Van Horn in the lead of a storm.  It's safe to say by the hail outside right now..., it caught up!  We were caught off guard downtown early afternoon when the wind hit.  Skirt + wind = disaster.  :o)  Came home, changed - went back out!

The river walk is Awesome!!!!!!  The Alamo is really pretty, too.  I'm really glad we stopped here.  Everything crazy that happens now, Mary and I laugh so hard and say, "it's Texas, are you surprised?"  We laugh ALL the time.  After tonight we are over the hump. Only Lafayette, LA - New Orleans, LA & Altants GA left!  (only 3 more nights)  Then we pass through Myrtle Beach (we may stop and find some gents to Shag with) and then onto my new home this Sat!!  :o)

More posts will surely follow!

Starting the journey this AM

It was all so pretty.....

We saw a buddy to follow (note the car)

This was the last thing we saw before we went blind.  Thank goodness for that car!!  He turned slight left after this pic and we could follow.  Otherwise, It was scary how blind we both were, driving into the sunrise!
