What was so weird about San Antonio, J?  I've never been there, but everyone I know who has says it's a neat place.  They're always surprised that the Alamo is so dinky, of course, but rave about the Riverwalk and the food.  (And my favorite Lyle Lovett album was recorded live there -- actually, the only Lyle Lovett album I like, because it's not his country stuff.)


No it was really cool and everything. The weird part was that it was very culturally different from what I'm use to. The people, the way they talked, food....definitely food, and everyday life just seems different from the way I live it. It felt like it was a whole different country. We  all know that Texas was once a whole different country ...wasn't it  

Though I think of anywhere that does not have sweet ice tea as being strange anyways haha....

Well, you can get sweet tea at McDonald's and in cans at supermarkets and in some vending machines here, but I doubt that really counts, considering that it is not traditional at all to drink sweet tea here...
