San Antonio, rain, and my weeds are growning

I had a really good time in San Antonio. The weather was "interesting" - some rain, some sun, some cool, some hot. I ate on the Riverwalk about 4 times - two breakfasts, one lunch, one dinner - all good. I have about decided that San Antonio may be the New Orleans of Texas. It is really hard to find a bad meal. I had planned to go see Jim Cullins at the Landing on Thursday evening, but got roped into a meeting and then by the time I got out of it was just too tired to go - that and I had to be up at 5 the next morning. If you go the San Antonio Riverwalk without me (why would you?), be sure and eat at the Original Mexican Restaurant. It looks like a typical touristy restaurant, but really does have really good food. They had the best pico de gallo, hands down.

On my way home I swung by Fredericksburg because I have been wanting a St. Francis statue for my yard and I knew I could find one there. Sure enough, I found one I really liked for a little bit of nothing, but I also found thousands of extra people because it was Octoberfest. I did not stop and drink beer with them, but I did have a nice glass of wine and some bread pudding at the Herb Farm.

We had one of Jack's old friends in for a few days when I got back (he arrived on Friday, I got home on Saturday) and had a nice time with him driving around the Hill Country, sitting on the porch, and going to see Zombieland, a movie I really did not expect to like, but thought was really funny (yes really - the gore was like playlike gore and didn't bother me hardly at all except when Bill Murray . . . never mind).

Now we have had some rain and my weeds with interspersed grass have grown quite tall. This next weekend I will get to play with the mower (if it is not raining) and maybe get to work on my room some more.

Well, that's it from Texasland on this bright, with a chance of showers Thursday.
