Texas Trip


The Riverwalk, the Alamo as well as 2 days in the rain and mud concertgoing. We had a great time, got really dirty and drank many Margaritas. The pictures posted here sum it up, but to see more, click on the pictures...


We had beautiful weather in San Antonio and it was a great day for walking, eating and drinking. Of course, we saw the Alamo. We also visited the Market Place, and walked the entire Riverwalk more than once. We stayed at a hotel on the Riverwalk which allowed us to leave the hotel, walk down the steps and be in the middle of everything.

The concert was marked by rain the first day, but we stuck it out long enough to catch Deer Tick, Bell X1, The Felice Brothers, Bon Iver, and a bit of Grizzly Bear. Soaked to the bone and starting to shiver, we skipped The Decemberists and Dave Matthews.

Sorry to miss them, but I was glad to survive for another day. We waited until mid afternoon to get to the park. The rain had moved on but left mostly mud and muck in its place. The pictures don't do it any justice. It was a mess! We wrapped it up by catching Heartless Bastards, Arctic Monkeys, The Dead Weather, and finally Pearl Jam.

It would be something I would want to check out each year if it wasn't so far away. Great concert and great venue. Enjoy the pics!
