Made it to Texas

Made it to San Marcos, but not without hitches. The plane left Portland a half-hour late. Landed in Dallas a half-hour late. Sat on the taxiway for 25 minutes. By the time I got off the plane my connecting flight to San Antonio had left. Fortunately, there are almost hourly flights from Dallas to San Antonio, so got there OK. Then I drove to the hotel outside San Marcos. We had dinner last night at The Gristmill in Gruene (part of New Braunfels) in an old cotton gin building. Great ribs. Karen is in meetings today, so I'm out exploring. The area is very dry for mid-winter. 

Getting ready for the first outing

Karen left yesterday, and I follow her tomorrow morning to San Antonio. She's at an Early Childhood conference, and I'm going for the fun of it. Still have to pack and get everything together. And we'll see how this goes.
