San Antonio in the sun

After the long night out we were in no condition to drive, so we decided to sleep in the car.  Despite getting hot and having a sore neck, it was free and allowed us to stay in the heart of town.  We went to starbucks in the morning to make a post.  While Aleksey was doing all the work i got to figuring out what we were going to do in the city.  I talked to some locals and made a plan.

We had breakfast at a local mexican place called “Tito’s.”  Aleksey had some meat, egg and cheese concoction that was delicious and REALLY spicy.  I had a similar dish without the meat; it was also very spicy.  In addition to my super spicy food i had a very sweet milky and cinamminy drink:  I walked around for the next two hours learning that really sweet and really spicy don’t mix well.  Aleksey drank a coke made with cane sugar and bottled in an old fashioned glass bottle.

After breakfast we went to see “The Alamo,” the location where the Texan’s were beaten by the Mexicans.  It had beautiful architecture, but not as nice when compared to the Mission of San Jose that we visited later that day.  We continued walking around the town, which is something we have become very accustomed to doing; Walked along the San Antonio River, and then got back into the car and started driving to a camp site near Carslbad Caverns National Park.
