Our destination today was the Boerne visitor center. We have zero maps of Texas and other than the Alamo and Riverwalk, we are not sure of what there is to see. So, armed with a photocopy of a map that that the Best Buy guy gave us, we found our way to Boerne (pronounced Bur nee). This is a small town on the outskirts of San Antonio of german heritage. Many of the old, historical buildings are well taken care of and still in use.
We had no trouble finding the visitor center in the south corner of the Walmart parking lot and had a lovely visit with the two ladies in charge. It was interesting listening to their views of Texas and it's history and secession. After we got home, I read the true history of Texas and it's not quite as glowing or independent as most texans choose to believe. Still, it is so much more than we ever learned in school and a nicer way to learn.
The storm moved into the area in the evening with a few sprinkles and some thunder. It is greatly needed here and very welcome to the residents. To the travelers......not so much.
