Well, we hit the 7,000 mile mark on our road trip today!!!! It was a hot one too, with the temp here in San Antonio reaching a HOT 102 degrees.  Another day of driving through desert-like scrub land until we were about an hour west of San Antonio where the scenery improved...and we actually began seeing signs of life.  We were blown about in sudden shocks by gusts of wind a couple of times so it was a good thing that we had both hands on the wheel.

We were able to find one of the last downtown rooms in the Riverwalk Vista Inn right next to the, that's right you guessed it, Riverwalk and better yet, the Alamo.  We'll explore both tomorrow, but today we're a bit drained from driving and it IS a college football Saturday, and we do have TV in the room....  So, we just hung out in our great sunny room the rest of the day after grabbing a bite (big bite) at Schilo's Delicatessen across the street.
