Happy New Year to everyone!!!!
    Spent New Year's Eve at campground. It was rainy and cold. We could see the fireworks from Hemisphere Park in San Antonio. Watching the celebration from New York and waiting an hour for New Year's to arrive in central time zone was strange. Anyway, before we left, we were downtown and took some photos before we left.

 With the Alamo Bowl game, there were plenty of tourists and fans around town. The Texas Longhorns beat the Oregon Beavers. In fact, according to the news, the Bowl game brought in around $39,000,000.00 in revenue. We saw lots of fans on both sides walking around the downtown area. Skip and I took a walk up to the Cathedral from River Walk.

  Afterwards, we headed back and stopped for drinks before leaving San Antonio the next day. A good margarita is a must at the end of the day!!!!!!!

We are leaving San Antonio and heading to Big Bend National Park. Will stop overnight somewhere. This area of Texas is approximately 410 miles heading southwest from San Antonio.
