Day 4 Amarillo, Texas To San Antonio, Texas

---

---

Today was a fairly long day of driving, not for distance or time, but mostly due to the fact that there is no inter-state highway that runs from Amarillo to San Antonio. Most of it was driven on backroads, and much of that was two lane. Though it takes longer, you see so much more of the true Texan landscape, and life along the way.
It is getting much warmer now, and we had the air conditioning on for most of the day. Passing through Lubbock, Abilene, and Sweetwater along the way, we arrived in San Antonio before dark, and after a relaxing drink at the waterfall in the back yard of the B&B we headed down to the Riverwalk for dinner at an Irish restaurant, with a short side trip over to look at the Alamo. It is beautifully lit up at night.
Back in the room at the Ruckman Haus bed and breakfast we drank a few glasses of wine from the bottle that Prudence left as a birthday present for Don. They are gracious hosts indeed, and made us feel very welcome.

Alamo Tree Lights At Night
All the trees around the Alamo are lit up at night..Kinda reminds you of Christmas, but for the fact that it was still 78 degrees F when this picture was taken.
