Excursion Number 1

Well, the summer fun has begun (rhyme). On Monday, Daniel, Sarah, and I were bored, so we decided to drive to San Antonio for a few hours. We drove the four (4) hours there
and went to the Alamo (as pictured).


Here's a hint: don't go see a icon of Texas history with two Californians who constantly remind you that Texas lost the Alamo.
Although, we did have fun standing in front of it and asking people "So, what's so great about the aLAMo?" Funny looks. We got em.

Afterwards, we went down to the River Walk, which was fun. It was stiflingly hot, so we sat down and had a margarita at a nice margarita bar (which had fans and misters for their sidewalk seating). When we finished those margaritas, we walked a little further and ate at Casa Rio. It was deemed by Daniel "The Best Mexican Food in Texas." At this point Daniel had to go on a tangent about how Texas Mexican food and California Mexican food are simply different genres of food. . . and cannot be compared. Sarah, however, claimed the California Mexican food was better. Good thing we all know she was lying.

After San Antonio, we drove the four (4) hours baaaaack to Abilene. We stopped in Fredericksburg for a few minutes and said hi to my friend, Rhett, who lives there. It was fun. Now all I have to do before I leave on Saturday is pack up all my belongings from my room, decide what needs to go home and what can stay in the garage, pack a bag for California, and pack two bags for Australia. Shouldn't be too hard, right? . . . right?

Crap.
