Day 9, Saturday June 1^st:

We left early in the morning at 6am with a long drive ahead of us to San Antonio.  It being Max’s last night we wanted to arrive in plenty of time to enjoy the city in daylight and at night.  Our first stop along the way was back at Café Du Monde for some more coffee and donuts on our way out of the city.  We also decided to stop at frat row on Tulane University in an attempt to find the ZBT house (Keith’s Dad’s old frat house).  Unfortunately we had little luck and rumor had it that the frat had been kicked off of campus a few years ago.  

We then hit the road for an extended amount of time before stopping in Houston, TX for lunch.  Champ’s Burgers was closed on the weekend which Jeremy had raved about from his stay in the area a couple summers ago.  We instead found another burger shack in the “hood” part of town where they served huge burgers and “hood punch”.  

We took our food to go and ate outside of Minute Maid Park (home of the Houston Astros).  The heat became unbearable and we quickly made our way back on the road eventually hitting San Antonio by 6pm.  After some brief relaxation we headed down to Market Square which was a short walk from the hotel.  Stopping at an indoor market area some of us bought some small craft goods that caught our eye.  

Before sunset we made our way to the Riverwalk which was a truly beautiful area of the city.  Trees and restaurants surrounded the river on both sides with tour and dinner boats going down stream as well. 

After a couple of long walks and views of the scenery we made camp at a table on the edge of the river at a Mexican Restaurant while being served by the greatest waitress of all time Jessica.  Here we ordered drinks and authentic Mexican food while taking in the atmosphere. 

Once satisfied we explored a little more before taking the long walk back (getting lost a few times) and passed out at the motel.
