| River Walk in San Antonio |
Apart from being made to jump out of bed as the rubbish men came to collect junk at around 05.30 it became clear later on that the weather had not watched last nights Weather Channel which showed grey at first and then by 11.00 sun. After waiting around for the sun to appear we gave up and went to plan B which is to go to New Braunfels but take the long way round to get there. San Antonio river walk is well worth it if the sun is shining but it looks unlikely to happen.

| New Braunfels |
So we took toe long way round going first south, the east and finally north until we reached our goal at around 13.30. We did try to stop for a coffee en-route at a Cafe, it said outside, only it was a bar and they only do coffee on weekends?
We arrived in New Braunfels and found a cafe for lunch and had good sandwich and across the room there was one, eventually two, younger guys looking after very young babies. Jennifer made beeline and it would appear to be a gay couple who have come from Sweden to adopt these two kids who were born only two weeks ago and and they were hoping to get passports soon so as to be able to take the babies back to Sweden. No the ideal of arrangements as far as my views are concerned, but I guess that is life.
We walked around the town which is named after a town in Germany North of Frankfurt where many of the original residents came from but we have been to Braunfels in Germany and the one here is USA is not a patch on the one in Germany.

We took a slow route back to the Hotel where we arrived around 16.30 and decided we would try the Hotel light meal which tonite would be Chefs Salad and Hamburgers and also German sausage. The food was fine , perhaps a little on the cool side but accompanied by a glass of red wine. I decided to have en extra hot dog and asked Jennifer to squirt some tomato ketchup on the roll and sausage and unfortunately she pressed it so hard it shot over the roll and down all over my trousers, oh well some washing tonight then.
Tomorrow we head back to Austin for a long weekend of Motor Racing and pop concerts and so the Blog may be delayed a little but I will see what I can do.
