a texas sized holiday
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Turkey and the trimmings were out in force at Shade Tree Saloon and Grill, a biker bar just north of San Antonio on highway 281 where Jonathan, Molly and Houston stopped for dinner at around six. The three were on their way to Austin after spending a day in the bustling metropolis.
We're in the car on the way to Austin, which should be a great evening. We'll head northeast to Longview and Jennifer's wedding tomorrow. It's several hours' drive, so we'll have to leave by noonish or so. We'll see how that goes.
Speaking of noonish, woke up today at 12:32 when someone called, probably to see if we were still in the room. The place was a mess, Molly was hungover to the point of getting sick and I had that sickly feeling that I get when I've been out drinking all night and sitting at my desk waiting for the pain to go away.
The Emily Morgan hotel is a fabulous property with substandard service. Our room overlooked the Alamo, which we quickly toured earlier in the day. Maybe they had their B team out today.
Moseyed on the Riverwalk, which is a great little part of town. Had margaritas and bruschetta. Sketched a little (I have a lot to learn).
Stopped at the zoo on the way out of town. Good thing -- I wouldn't have made it through the drive if we hadn't had a relaxing stroll through the park. The animals were cackling at us, the weather was stunning and the waxing nostalgia only cost $1 (you have your choice of lion, cougar, elephant, giraffe, train or komodo dragon). Corn dogs, nachos and onion rings for lunch. It was a little boy's paradise.
