... through it we started exploring more. But while at the Coral Reef and Shark cove we saw all kinds of fish, sharks and rays, along with an occasional eel. After being at that exhibit I have to confirm that my favorite fish is the Blue Tang, it is just really pretty and colorful. We then worked our way towards lunch prior to the Beluga encounter, grabbed a quick lunch and I decided while we were working towards the Penguin Encounter that I wanted to ...

... the point of almost vomiting, so the visit was short and limited to the visitor center. As we left we stopped at a gift shop that had a enormous sand castle built for the front of the store with shells and sea turtles, very creative but not much else to say about it.<br>The drive to San Antonio was not all that much to report and with us arriving mid-afternoon we went downtown to the Alamo and the river-walk.

... eight days and I've ridden my bike approximately 500 miles - needless to say I was bushed.<br> We spent the night at Bruce and Carolyn's house. I got the spare room upstairs, Bob got the sofa in the den which he shared with Bullet the dog. We'll pack my bike Sunday morning.

Unfortunatly at this point in this trip, I was pretty exhausted. I got to San Antonio after a 12 hour drive from El Paso, and was only scheduled to stay for the night. I sadly didn't do anything but go into the hostel and talk to a Scottish guy that was staying there for some time before going to bed to get ready for my next drive.<br><br> Not much here, sorry about that guys.<br>

He wanted to go to New Braunfels to a lookout over the Guadalupe River where we had gone on our third date.<br><br>It was a gorgeous day and we were standing on the deck enjoying the view.

... s called Whataburger....because he exclaimed as he bit into it: "Boy, what a burger!" After driving through Waco and Austin, we finally arrived in our shoe box...errr....hotel room around 9:15ish. It's no Hermitage, but it's better than a jail cell and cheaper than a campsite, so it'll do just fine.
