Another chance at doing something fun today.  Somehow the fridge fixed itself when John wiggled and banged it around to try to take it out of the frame for repair so we cancelled the repairman.  Fed the dogs the BRAT diet and went to breakfast at Magnolia Pancake Haus.

Magnolia Pancake Haus

YUMMY food and very reasonable.  I sure hope we will be doing other fun stuff besides eating as this RV living life is causing my clothes to shrink.    Walked around San Antonio and I got in some practice with our new camera.  Too many buttons and switches on it but at least it will keep those bear and moose a good distance away.

Mission Concepcion

Visited Mission San Jose and Mission Concepcion.

Looks like Vintage Denny's

Drove through the King Williams District and ate lunch at a local Mexican restaurant that we couldn’t get into the last time we visited San Antonio a few years back.  I took a picture of the lighting fixtures.  They reminded me of the old Denny’s décor where I ate when I was a kid.  The food was good but nothing special.  Glad we didn’t wait through the long line the last time we visited.

Our waiter making guac at our table

Just before going on the riverboat ride, we stopped at our favorite snack restaurant, Boudro’s on the Riverwalk, for made-at-your-table guacamole.  Sit outside and you get a poncho to keep you warm and a fun little show if your waiter is in a good mood.

Went on a riverboat ride at night and enjoyed the banter of the driver.  He was a cross between a smart ass and a comedian and we spent the whole ride smiling.  It was John’s turn to experiment with the camera and he took the pictures while we were on the boat so if the pictures suck, it’s his fault!
