Monday 05.31.10
I started off the day with a Texas shaped waffle at the hotel for breakfast. Kind of sets the right tone for the day, don't you think?
I checked the drawers and saw that The Gideon's are still at work. I think I'd feel like stealing if I took one. They've been placing them in hotel and motels since 1908.
We headed over to The Alamo for some more sightseeing. I love visiting tourist attractions. It's what I do. We'd visited before but it doesn't hurt to check it out again. Who knows? I might learn something new.
I couldn't resist taking this "mailbox" picture at The Alamo. I'm always on the lookout for my favorite things.
We also toured the 1836 Alamo Model. Speaking of learning new things, I learned that Phil Collins is not only narrated the speaking portion of the diorama but The Alamo is his new passion. He's a collector and a history buff. I mean really, who knew?
We were hungry so as we passed by Pat O'Brien's we decided to eat there. It was pretty good. I had a hamburger, fries and of course a coke with no ice.
We saw this awesome Hummer taxi.
I also had noticed that our hotel was across from The Mexican Consulate. I didn't get a chance to visit and I'm not sure if they even allow visitors. Thought it might be interesting to see inside.
Before heading back home I snapped this picture of M in front of the San Antonio Post Office. Doesn't he look cute?
On the way home we stopped by Dairy Queen which is known for their fine Mexican cuisine, right? I don't know...just seemed odd.
And finally for all of you Roadside America fans we did spot the World's Largest Caterpillar in Italy, Texas.
