where’s the basement?
Written 2/17/05:
We went to San Antonio yesterday, and went to the Alamo. It was a really neat educational experience for both us and the kids. (Did you know Texas was actually an independent country between from 1836-1846?) I was a little disappointed though because it wasn’t really like I expected. I always imagined it to be on the dusty plains, with a lone cactus and some tumbleweed blowing by. In reality it’s in the middle of downtown San Antonio. Obviously, it was there first and the city grew up around it, which is the reason for one of the other disappointing things; that only two of the original sections are still intact. A big portion of the original structure was destroyed, and other buildings popped up where it’s walls once stood. Not that I’m complaining, because it was still really cool.
P.S. - If you know the movie referenced in the title, leave a comment! The first person to get it right gets …probably nothing, but comment anyway.

I couldn’t find an email link, so I hope it’s okay to leave a comment. :o)
I was just wondering how easy it is to find free wi-fi connections on your travels. I’m thinking
about doing the laptop/wireless thing and thought you would be a good source of information on
the topic.
It looks like you’re having a log of fun on your travels! What an adventure! I follow your blog
with my news reader.
Have a good one!

OK, Is the first comment from Chris, as in Christine Gookin, cuz she shouldn’t be allowed to participate. Like employees of radio stations can’t participate in contests, etc.
Not that I knew the answer anyway…
Who woulda thunk it??? W reads your blog too. Thought he’d be too busy blowing up small cities in foreign countries just for the fun of it.
Enough rambling, but you could give your sister a call once in a while you know. I was told that she’d love to hear from ya’ll.

Nah, that’s not me…but I knew the answer! We would call, but roaming fees are killing us! Hafta get our cell phone straightened out first. Hope you had a happy birthday, Denise!
