Rode the streetcars all around downtown.

REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

Went to Steak Night on Wednesday at the 11th Street Cowboy Bar with two couples from the timeshare. It's bring your own meat and they supply grills, potatoes and salad, plates. Enjoyed a great dinner with a few Lone Star Beers (hey, we're in Texas).

Spent Wednesday driving around Boerne and several surrounding shops and poking around in the little shops. Found the Sister Creek Vineyards in Sisterdale -- yup, who knew Texas made wine. This is located in an old 1885 cotton mill. Sisterdale is a very small town with a population of 25!!!

After 2 1/2 days of rain, the sun finally poke through sporatically today. We still managed to tour Kerrville, which is north of here, Boerne (pronounced Ber-nee), which is east, and San Antonio, which is south. We spent several hours shopping at El Mercardo. Had lunch at Buckhorn's with its many many stuffed animals and met "real" cowboys at the Texas Ranger Museum.

Our timeshare in Bandera and the promised pictures of Denise and Bill (on a very windy day).

Left Flint, TX on Friday, heading south. Stopped at the D.L.Jardine plant and store (gourmet hot sauces, etc.), then continued on to spend a night in New Braunfels. Headed on to our timeshare in Bandera, TX, on Saturday, which is located about 30 miles north of San Antonio in the Hill Country (another 400+ miles traveled in our journey west). The country is beautiful here, but many of the creeks have dried up from lack of rain. I'll get pictures (with BOTH Bill and Denise) of the mountains and creeks. Bandera is the Cowboy Capital of the Country (that's what the brochures tell us).
