Landscape in Kansas, evening, approaching Wichita.

Stretching their legs just inside the Texas border.

~

Impressive freeway ramp systems through Fort Worth.

~

Into San Antonio in time for dinner on the Riverwalk.

~

Breakfast on our hotel balcony in San Antonio.

(The church beyond played 2 stanzas of well-known hymns every hour from 7 am to 9 pm, ending with "Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow")

(something tells us no-one would pay extra for a "Colorado-shaped" waffle maker.  Maybe Minnesota-shaped.)

~

The Alamo, this being San Antonio and all.

~

Home-brewed root beer at Schilo's.

~

Mission San Jose

(and the girls add another Jr. Ranger badge to their collection)

(and more to come!)
