Another beautiful day in hill country. Thank you Texas for the great weather. The days have been warm, the nights perfect for sleeping with a light blanket.
I did nine geocaches in the middle of the day. Saw a lot of the countryside. After a relaxing afternoon we got ready to go to the Riverwalk in San Antonio for supper. It’s about forty miles and we were glad we were going in instead of coming out. Why do we call it rush hour, no one was going north very fast.
We walked around for awhile deciding on a restaurant. The host or whatever at all the restaurants comes out to the sidewalk with menus trying to get you into their place. The only other US city I have seen this is New Orleans, it’s common in Mexico.
We decided on a Mexican restaurant named “The Original Mexican Restaurant.” They claim to be the oldest in San Antonio. We are a pretty boring group, after the waiters description we all ordered the chili rellenos dinner. It was a lot of food. Two chili rellenos with rice, beans and squash. This restaurant doesn’t batter the rellenos and fry them. They stuff them with seasoned meat, one with chicken the other with beef, and bake them in a red sauce.
Being stuffed made it hard to stay awake on the ride back to Spring Branch. We retired to the motorhome. After checking my e-mail, Paul and I played World of Warcraft for a couple of hours.
Like I said in the beginning the weather was perfect for sleeping.
