Yippee, Whohoo, this morning I read an email that said we have our “family” friends from Holland coming again next summer.  This is awesome news.  We have been meeting them every year, except this year, for the past 10 years, watching the kids grow up to become young adults.  

Today we stayed an extra day at Boerne Tx, Vadie had suggested we go into San Antonio to check out the Alamo, Zoo and Aquarium.  By the time we had walked through the Alamo, and then did the Riverwalk, we were both tired, and it had taken us almost 4 hours as well, so the zoo and aquarium lost out.

Hi Vadie

Touring the Alamo was very interesting, I had heard of the song many times, but seeing and reading the facts of the last stand, things started to make sense.  Walking through where the Alamo stood, where people played, ate and fought was really unique.

After walking through the Alamo, we went for a horse carriage ride.  The lady driver told us about the hotels, restaurants, churches and other buildings, when they were built, and how things changed over the years.   

Even though things have changed, many of the buildings have been restored, and are being used presently.

Along the Riverwalk, there are all kinds of restaurants, one would not lack food, no matter what their taste is.
