Yesterday, was an all day driving day, 450 miles to be exact. We had a great Mexican breakfast in Carlsbad and drove on out. There was not a whole lot to see on the drive, we were on the 285 going through Pecos and Fort Stockton, then to the I-10 east and got within an hour of our destination, San Antonio. We stopped at Kerrville, it was this neat historic town that is know for it’s annual folk music festival.
After attending on of the best folk festivals we’ve ever been to, we drove that hour and checked into one of the best hotels in San Antonio, which we booked online at this site. A side note: I only paid $2.07 for diesel, which is by far the cheapest gas I’ve paid for on this little road trip of ours, and that helped us do more financially, than we thought we would be able to do, thanks to cheap diesel in Texas!
We arrived New Years Eve, because we wanted to be somewhere different for the beginning of 2010, someplace with fresh energy and a place that offered a different atmosphere than what we are use to back in California, and you can’t get much more different than Texas. We celebrated New Years Eve in our hotel room.
Then, New Years Day, which was a beautiful day, about 70 degrees, we decided to check out the Alamo. We’ve both seen it in movies and read about it in our history books, but we wanted to see the little mission for real. We thought we’d be the only one’s to tour it, being New Years Day and everyone recovering with hangovers, but we were so wrong. The place had a throng of people, is was totally mobbed! Apparently, everyone in San Antonio had the day off and decided that there was no better time to see the Alamo! So, we opted to do the Riverwalk instead and relax with listening to live music. So much for the Alamo!
