San Antonio Texas

We arrived at San Antonio on Sunday night after a day of butterflies--hundreds of them from Brownsville to San Antonio.  Monday we went to the Riverwalk and took a boat cruise around the downtown area on a series of canals (these canals are only 3 feet deep).  What a great idea to revitalize a city.  Then we walked along the river and had lunch at a Mexican Restaurant.  Monday night we went back down and walked along the river to see the lights.  What a great place, very busy both day and night.  We took a bus right from the campground to the river.  Tuesday we went to an IMAX movie of the Alamo then went across the street to visit the Alamo.  
Wed we left and drove to Carlsbad New Mexico.  We saw quite a difference in the scenery, it went from trees and flat to hills and a lot of sand and cactus.  It was a long boring ride but we had an audio book John Grissom's  Confession.  Photos to follow.

Tomorrow we go to see the Carlsbad Caverns.
