Still Standing in San Antonio

We are now in San Antonio at a nice RV park just south of SA. We had a delightful visit and dinner with Al & Cecelia, Eddie's parents, at the Riverwalk downtown. The Riverwalk is lit up like a Christmas tree and looks beautiful. Our meal was very good and the company was even better.
We are seriously considering just staying here until after the first of the year although the weather system that came through last night indicated it wanted to move us further south. Steady winds of almost 30 MPH broadsided us with some really serious gusts that really "rocked the boat" kept us moving all night. And, it was a cold wind at that! It was in the mid-30s this AM and will be colder tomorrow AM. At least we didn't get any of the "white stuff" they had in the hill country north of SA.
We attempted to have some BBQ at the "Texas Pride BBQ" last night. It supposedly has "to die for" ribs. After driving 17 miles to get there, it was closed! They are closed Mon & Tues. So, we ate at Bill Miller's BBQ which is the local equivalent of Sonny's BBQ but not anywhere near as good. Oh well, we'll try again in a few days. I also want to try some of the Mexican restaurants here of which there seem to be LOTS of them around the area. I'm sure that Al & Cecelia can give us some good direction there.
Oh! And I've added some new stuff to the RV. We are now the proud owners of an RV with brand new spark plug wires. I'm so proud! It seems to have cured the latest ignition problem. Time will tell:) I'm also the proud owner of a new Mass Air Sensor in the Toyota truck as well. Oh Joy!
No pics today as I forgot to take the camera with me to Riverwalk. Next time for sure.
This looks to be a good day to spend in a shopping mall doing Christmas shopping (if there is a good day for that). It must be done, however.
