We managed to get through Houston on a Sunday morning. Thank goodness because the traffic during the week is indescribable. We then spent two nights about 80 miles or so west of Houston. We took a day trip with just the truck down to the Gulf Coast. It was only about an hour and half from where we camped so we quick drove down to catch some really nice warm sunshine. We took some pictures of the piers there with beach and palm trees in the background.
We were going to head up toward Austin to an RV dealer that does warranty repairs on our brand of 5th wheel but they suddenly shutdown their business. We ended up going to San Antonio and staying at a very nice "luxury RV park" for a week. We wanted enough time in San Antonio to have a mobile RV repair service come to our rig and fix it. The guy came right out and took less than 2 hours to fix it. The repair was a very minor adjustment on some grease fittings for the axles. He also gave us plenty of advice on the best way to get around the city to see the sights.
We went downtown and saw the Alamo. Jim took some good pictures of it. I posted the best one. We love to see American historical places and this one has been nicely restored. We also strolled along the riverwalk. It is surprising how narrow the "riverwalk" sidewalk is -- not sure how people don't fall in on busy weekends and especially when it gets dark. It is very pretty and there are great hotels and restaurants right alongside it.
We will be heading west from San Antonio to Del Rio next and probably staying there for the rest of the winter. It will be nice to get out of San Antonio -- very nice town but the traffic is something else.
