Day 8

Today we drove from Lafayette, LA to San Antonio, TX. It was a relatively easy drive, following I-10 the whole way. We passed through Houston, TX on the way. The traffic there was a little heavy, but not too bad.

We arrived at our campground in San Antonio and dropped off our trailer without setting it up. We wanted to get downtown to see The Alamo first.

For those who have been there, you know there's really not too much to see. We walked around for a little while, looked at some of the exhibits and read the Wall of History. After that, we decided to take a short walk along the San Antonio River Walk, just to pass some time. It was actually fairly nice down there, as it got us out of the sun, and I guess between the shade and the coolness of the water, it was much more comfortable down there than it was up on street level.

After our short walk, we went back to our campground to get the trailer set up. While we were setting it up, we noticed that there was a bike/walking trail right behind our campsite. When we finished setting up, we took our bikes over to the trail and went for a short ride. It was a really nice trail, but it was so hot, so we didn't go too far.

When we got back, it was time to make dinner. Since we were in San Antonio, we figured tacos would be a good choice.

Now we're just hanging out and we'll probably play a board game or something. Tomorrow, we have a pretty long drive, 475 miles, from San Antonio, TX to Carlsbad, NM.
