Texas Part 2

San Antonio, Texas      April 8, 2021

     We stayed in a very nice historic hotel, The Gibbs (1909). Larry and I love staying in these places. The marble, the high ceilings and the woodwork are all master crafted. You just don't see this kind of workmanship very often in our modern times. That evening we headed for a stroll on the River Walk.


Gorgeous horse drawn carriages were traveling up and down the streets.





The Riverwalk was lit up and it was a really romantic place at night.



River boats were loaded with people  passing us as we walked along the water way. Many people were  wondering around the area...maskless. In normal times it would have been fun to ride.







Many lovely flowers were  enjoyed along the river walk. 


                 To end our evening we walked by the infamous Alamo...a block from our hotel.
                             The next morning we headed out for our next destination, Houston.


On our drive across Texas, it was pure delight to see green grass and the fields of Bleu Bonnets, the state flower.







Houston, Texas           April 9-18, 2021

Larry and I spent a great week in Houston taking care of our friend, Patrick's cat, Sebastian. Because it rained the whole week, it was a very relaxing time. We explored the city by car getting the oil changed, got the Covid vaccine, and had some great practice sessions on the guitar and autoharp. Sebastian was great entertainment.


                          Sebastian loved napping in my Autoharp case while we were practicing!
