Still Roaming Around San Antonio

Week two at Fort Sam Houston was quite enjoyable. We played three rounds of golf and did a little sightseeing as well. For any of our fellow RVers who intend to travel to San Antonio, the park at the Fort is very nice. As you can see, the sites are very large by US standards, and the washroom and laundry facilities are well kept. And one certainly cannot complain about the price....



We made it to Sea World, although this time of year the attraction is only open on weekends. We took in all the shows, including an excellent acrobatic performance that included beluga whales and dolphins. Of course, Shamu was at his best....it's amazing what they can get these mammals to do!

















There were a number of water rides that we both went on. Of course, my daredevil husband had to try the Steel Eel rollercoaster (I stayed on the ground!). Tried to get a photo of him as he zoomed by but that didn't work so he had to pose.














Just north of San Antonio there are some natural caverns. Excellent specimens of stalactites, stalagmites, straws, columns, curtains and drapes. We walked 280 ft below ground. I can't believe the four explorers that first found the caves actually crawled through the small opening below, not knowing where they would end up or what they would find on the other side or even if they could get out on the other side... I get claustraphobic just thinking about it.
