The Alamo & Mistletoe

First stop in San Antonio: The Clean Plate, a farm to table restaurant.  The atmosphere was small and unassuming, clean and friendly.  Food was fantastic…we cleaned our plates!

After lunch, the important stop: the Alamo!  John was starting to feel poorly about this time (disguised well behind the sunglasses) so we didn't spend a lot of time here.  As John reflected later, it's completely surrounded by the city…nothing that we have ever seen indicates that it actually surrounded by buildings (such as the Davy Crockett hotel, which had been there for quite a while).

It was interesting to think about the Alamo in context of the independence movement that was sweeping the globe at that time...

A friendly stranger took this awesome photo

On the way back to our campsite, John spotted that which had eluded us thus far on our trip….mistletoe   within arm's reach!  The perfect decoration for a Merry Texas Honeymoon Ramble!
