We finally got to sleep in – I hated to get out of bed.
We went downstairs for the breakfast buffet and we got a great table out my the river walk. It seemed to be a pretty quiet spot will not too much foot traffic. I can’t stand it when people are walking by and look at what you are eating, even though I do it myself.
There was a little Island right beside us that they were preparing for a wedding, we finished eating just as they were getting ready to start so we missed the ceremony.
We walked over to the Alamo – there was a huge line to go inside so we walked around the grounds. We went down by the river walk for one last walk around. On the way back to the car we passed the Alamo again and the line had gone down so we went in for a quick look around. There were a lot of people limed up to go through a small room, so we skipped that only had a quick look.
We felt like we were melting in the heat to we were glad to get into the air conditioned car.
TomTom said it would be 8 hours to get to El Paso. We took Interstate 10 the whole way. It was a really nice to see hills and mountains and watch the landscape change as we went.
I got stopped just outside of San Antonio, I was surprised that they bothered because even though I was going over 70 I was still less than 80. I told them that the car was Canadian so it is in Kilometers and I only got a warning. A few miles later the speed went up to 80 so they must have been getting people jumped the gun.
There wasn’t a whole lot of populated areas between San Antonia and El Paso. We stopped a Picnic Area for supper, we were hoping for bathrooms and running water. We were shocked to see that it was a wireless site! We had never seen that one before.
We got to watch a great lightening show as we came into El Paso. It was a huge city – much bigger than we imagined.
