Arriving in San Antonio yesterday, we settled in and waited for an RV repair guy to come and "fix" my fridge which hadn't worked right since we left home.  Cannot believe that it was just the battery disconnect switch on the panel!!! Can't tell you how many times I've asked guys which way the battery disconnect switch should be in transit and storage.  The double negative really got me.  Seems that my grammar is excellent - but the switch was installed by an RV guy who doesn't know grammar.  When your battery disconnect switch is in the on position, the battery is connected!!! Who knew...

We enjoyed a fabulous morning at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens...Pam has a reciprocal membership so it was free!!!!  Here are just a couple of the 45 photos I took:










Our tour of the gardens was followed by a fantastic lunch in the Gardens' Restaurant.  Since we had missed having muffaletta sandwiches in New Orleans, we were pleased to see them on the menu today.  Yum!   And honest-to-goodness fresh squeezed lemonade was the finisher.  We drove around the city for a little while (my GPS was having a bad day) but found the Mercado Mexican shopping district.  Pretty to look at but super high prices for most of the merchandise.  Pam did find some very pretty wine glasses though, so we chalked it up as a successful shopping expedition.

Then we came back to basics and did our grocery shopping at the local Wally World.  (After all, I have a fridge now!)  Tomorrow I get a day off from driving and we'll take a guided tour of San Antonio.  Our RV neighbors have agreed to walk Mr. Hobbs so we'll be leaving at 8AM and be back 'round 5PM.  Missions, Alama, River Walk/Ride and Museums are on the itinerary so it will be a full day of adventure.  More anon......
