Hello! Memorial Day weekend is over. It was a good one for us. We had a visit from Mihir's cousin, Aditi, and the three of us travelled to San Antonio, Texas. We spent Saturday touring the Alamo and San Antonio's lovely River Walk area. Aside from extreme heat (even by Texas standards) the day was good. I've posted some of the pictures taken near the Alamo. We would have taken more pictures of the actual fort, but they've actually banned photography in most of the interesting parts, such as the Davy Crockett shrine. Any photos taken from within the walls of the Alamo would have been pictures of tourists milling about--nothing interesting. Note to all future San Antonio tourists: If you hope to sample some of the region's famed Mexican food, be sure to make reservations in advance. We tried to eat at Casa Rio on Saturday evening and faced a 30-minute wait to put our name on the list for a table--after that, the wait to be seated would have been at least an hour. We're sure the food was lovely....but we opted for the restaurant at the hotel instead.
Mihir and Aditi saw The da Vinci Code Sunday evening (I was studying contract law in preparation for the Texas bar exam). In spite of poor critical reviews, they seemed to enjoy it. Maybe I'll see it on DVD later this year.
