San Antonio...

Hello,

After two days of riding, we have made the 150 mile ride from Del Rio to San Antonio. Along the way we have had the privilege of going through the small town of Hondo, TX. Interestingly enough, I believe Kalan's mothers maiden name is Hondo.

Along the way to San Antonio, we have come to the realization that the definition for a creek in Texas is somewhat vague... The rest of the world knows a creek as "a small stream, often a shallow or intermittent tributary to a river." In Texas however, we have seen approximately 40 different "creeks," and to us, they appear to be nothing but a dip in the landscape without water. Among the many "creeks" we have seen, one was even named "dry creek." I would like to propose that if the name of the creek has dry in it, then it should not be considered a creek. Nevertheless, we will continue to cross "creeks" with or without water and whatever else may stand in our path as we make our way towards Florida.

Now that we are in San Antonio, we will enjoy the downtown region and take a glance at the historic Alamo. We will surely post pictures as soon as we can... We have already rode our bikes by Trinity University. Good news for the Willamette Football team, we have a nicer football field than them. Bad news for the Willamette Football team, everything else is nicer. I talked briefly to the coach, and challenged them in a game. Regardless, they are still afraid (I'm totally full of it...).

Well, we will keep you up to date as we continue on. Hope all is well, and take care.

Kevin
