Eating My Way Through San Antonio

San Antonio, TX
No biking

In San Antonio, I’m staying with my cousin Beth, her husband Andre, and their daughters, Jacqueline and Madeline. I arrived just in time for the city’s Fiesta celebration, which has something to do with Texas independence and the Alamo.

This morning, Jacqueline and I got up, not that early, and made pancakes. She tried to teach me how to make shaped ones, using cookie cutters. It’s a little tricky, because they can get thick too easily and not cook all the way through.

Eventually, we headed downtown for the Fiesta parade. We arrived a little early and went to lunch right away. Even though I didn’t ride today, my body is still hungry all the time as if I were riding. I might need to be conscientious about not overdoing it the next few days when I am not on the bike. But of course we had to try the delicious desserts!

We got to the parade and watched marching bands,

beauty queens,

Clydesdales,

and other floats. Apparently it used to be traditional at this parade for participants to throw flowers at each other, but they’re not supposed to do that anymore. Each group does send a wreath, via the honor guard of a local private quasi-military academy, to lay in front of the Alamo.

We toured the Alamo.

The guide said the parapet that gives the roof the distinctive shape most of us connect with the Alamo was not actually on the building at the time of the battle, as shown in the movies. It was added later.

We stopped for snacks near the Riverwalk.

Beth and I hiked together in Rocky Mountain National Park when we were teenagers, so we know how important it is to have a backpack full of snacks with you!

When we returned home, we decided to take Beth and Andre’s new toy, a 1987 Porsche 911, out for a spin. The girls were understandably tired, and pretty crabby about being scrunched in the backseat. They’re over the Porsche. It just tangles their hair. Luckily, I don’t have enough hair to get tangled! It was fun!

I don’t know how much of the Texas hill country I’ll actually get to bike through, but it was fun to speed through in the Porsche!

Then we met Andre for Rudy’s Texas Barbeque!

The plates are big pieces of butcher paper and the creamed corn is to die for. We had coleslaw, too, so at least I had a few vegetables!
