Yesterday on Sunday February 24/13, at 6:00 am we left to make our way to San Antonio, Texas. Why did we choose this day and this time?? To avoid rainy weather on both ends of this little excursion and that we did. We rode along the coast of Florida, through, Mobile, Alabama , Mississippi, Louisiana and stopped for the night in Houston, Texas.
Oh, and today was also a day of funny road litter....someone pulling a ride-on-lawn mower had its hood blow off which skidded across the highway into the ditch. Then in the middle of the highway was a small wooden chair, and just before entering Houston we saw sparks coming from a shovel that was bouncing across the width of the highway. All these things were far enough away from us not to be dangerous, but we both saw each one clearly which added a little entertainment.
Today we arrived in San Antonio at noon...to be continued....
Once we unloaded the motorcycles we rode downtown to walk around and stopped in at the Alamo! Just as people say, it's not very big, but very interesting and rich with history. I think we chose the windiest day of the year...40 mile an hour winds were reported!!!
Hangin' out by the cannon....and the huge cactus
Then we walked along the famous River Walk. It was very pretty and we stopped for a bite to eat at the Mad Dog.
Here we are at the Mad Dog Pub (look close hanging on the branch is the sign). We had so much fun on this journey so far....
