It is cloudy and rainy here in TX near San Antonio. Not too cold today - high of 64 but sure is gloomy. Spent relaxing day in rig. Happy hour and dinner at Ron and Diana's. Ron did our chicken breasts on the grill and we did potatoes and salad. Perfect after our previos days' feasting. Played two games of Farkle and Jerry won them both, but not by much...fun time. Finished up evening with pumpkin pie and were home by 10 pm. Guess the fireworks in the neighborhood were loud, but didn't wake me up.

Late start to the day. Moved rig to be McQueeney Collision, about 45 min. away, about 1 pm. They will be working on it beginning early Tuesday am. Took Ron and Diana into San Antonio. Toured around The Alamo - always fascinating. Then walked around the Riverwalk a bit. Found a Mexican restaurant that looked good. Ate out under the propane heater next to the River. Fun people watching and looking at the boats and ducks chasing each other as they plied up and down. Had a drink and great fajitas. Diana had awesome tortilla soup. Looked a bit more around the Riverwalk and headed back towards the Menger Hotel where we parked. Ron has been talking for months about when we go to SanAn we had to eat mango ice cream at the Menger Hotel. (He had eaten it there many years ago...and they are famous for it...and he had been craving it.) So for dessert we stopped in there. La de da place with very tasteful decor in the lobby (see pix below) and white table cloths and waiters/waitresses in black. The guys had the ice cream and Diana and I shared Creme Brule which was excellent! The coffee was very delicious, too. A beautiful ending to a fun evening! Home and in bed by 9:30ish.
