Down in San Antone......

Made it to San Antonio this afternoon.....was told to head for the Riverwalk area and so that is where I got myself a hotel for the evening.

Started out in Killeen this morning......was intending to be here yesterday but had a little bike trouble.....she didn't like the cold weather yesterday and wouldn't start for me.....took most of the day to find a dealer (in Killeen) who could take a look......they didn't find anything except a fused contact in the starter switch....which wouldn't have caused the problems I had on the day.....ho hum.....what's a boy to do!


the Colorado River, just past the town of Marble Falls



central Texas....a days ride in any direction sees you still in Texas!

So I stayed in Killeen last night....

Headed south today to San Antonio......home to the Alamo....where 188 'Texicans' (Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie...as in the bowie knife) held the Mexican Army at bay to defend their freedoms.
The Alamo....









Cactus anyone?

been there, seen it....done it!

So spent a couple of hours enjoying a little sunshine along the river in downtown San Antonio, had a few beers and watched the world walk and float by.......was touristy but nice and relaxed....



the Riverwalk....
Hoping to get to Bandera tomorrow....the cowboy capital of the world!...for a couple of days on a 'dude ranch'....we shall see...

End of Week 3.
