Robin and I woke up at 7:30am Central Time this morning, which was 5:30am to us since we were still on California time. We stayed up until 1:00am last night, so this only gave us about six and a half hours sleep, but we had to bite the bullet and adjust to the new time zone eventually, so today was the day. We let Enid sleep in quite a bit later though, and didn’t get on the road until 10:00am.

It was a good day of traveling in many ways. Today’s drive was only a little more than 200 miles, and it was cloudy and drizzly most of the way, so we were able to keep the windows rolled up most of the time. It was nice to have a break from the wind noise. We even listened to music for a while, which is impossible with the windows down. But by the time we arrived in San Antonio the sun was back, and a wicked mugginess along with it. A very nasty climate indeed, but one we’d best get used to as I think it probably approximates what we’ll find in Monterrey.

Enid was overall pretty good today, but a little edgier than the last two days. Also she never napped today because the drive was so short. We thought we’d get her to bed early and thereby get her switched to the new time zone, but at bedtime she got upset and fussed and cried for a long while, so she didn’t really get to sleep until almost 9pm. Not too bad, but not as early as we wanted. Hopefully she’ll nap tomorrow on the way to Laredo.

What I’ve seen so far of San Antonio does not impress me. In fact it looks butt-ugly to me. Maybe there's a nice part hidden somewhere? If so I’m unlikely to see it on this trip. Our plan is to visit the Alamo tomorrow morning and then hit the road for Laredo. I’m sure Enid’s attention span for the Alamo will be short, as may be my own. But what else does one do in San Antonio?
