Everything is bigger in Texas

After leaving New Mexico, We entered Texas and headed to San Antonio.  Texas is a very large state... we were on the road for most of the day, but we got to San Antonio and headed downtown to the River Walk.  The River Walk is just what it sounds like, a river goes through the downtown section and there is a sidewalk on both sides of the river.  All along the river are nice little restaurants and bars and shops.  There are people all over and it has a great energy to it. Right next to the river walk is the Alamo! Remember that? That was a cool thing to see, because you see it in history books, but there it is.

Leaving San Antonio, we headed to the small town of Montgomery, TX to stay with our friends Mike and Anne Roy.  We had a great time hanging out with them and I was able to talk football with Mike all weekend.  It just worked out that our Fantasy Football team was playing against his this weekend, and it was a good thing we planned to leave on Monday, because after the beating I gave him, I don't think he would have let me stay there any longer anyway :)  But for real, we had a great time with them and got to go to their church, do some wicked hard crossword puzzles, and have some deep conversations with them.  We also got to meet some of their friends and see a plane Mike was helping a friend of his build.

After leaving there, we spent the night in Bossier City, LA, on our way to our next destination, Memphis, TN.
