Day 4: Ready, Set, Go . . . we made it to San Antonio!
Tuesday, September 05, 2006
I've come to love armadillos, but that is a post in and of itself. Unfortunately, we've seen far too many of these little guys on the roadside. :(
We've had a very leisurely day. We walked on the Galveston beach this morning. It's no St. John, but it was still a beach and I didn't want to leave. We drove through a residential area to the historic district. The older beach homes were really nice, but there was so much industry (or something) on the bayside that overall, I didn't much like the area.
It was a short drive (about 3hrs) from Galveston to San Antonio. I was actually surprised that SE Texas was so pretty. We took some rural roads and interstate. I thought it would be much less green. I actually liked it alot. We had planned to tour a couple of old Spanish missions and the Alamo this evening, however both closed during the 5 o'clock hour. We arrived too late.
After settling into the hotel, we toured the riverwalk area. It's beautiful - even with the light rain.
Today's been lowkey and relaxing. The first couple days we drove much farther and squeezed alot more into each day. The next couple days will be slower and more laid back. Tomorrow we'll get to the Alamo when it opens, then off to a Spanish Mission and onward to Austin.
Thanks for all the comments - we're reading them! :)
