san antonio trip: day 3

1993.02.28 2.05

More of the same and in the same truncated to the point format:

Fictitiously pointing out that our rooms were 335 and 334 (grandparents please take note).
Returning to the post office to mail Rona a letter
Mark plays with a voice changer at the corner store
Betsy applies sun tan lotion in public (apparently this is why we were at the aforementioned corner store)
Donating money to Save Hunger coalition guy on the street. Betsy (to me): "Your shorts are too tight." Ewww.
Looking at a Canadian penny covered car outside the wax museum
Charlie, the wax museum ticket cutter guy, instructs me on video camera etiquette
Wax museum and Ripley's tour. Betsy screams like a banshee at one point.
Late dinner at Garcia's Mexican Restaurant (a second time!) by the Riverwalk
I've locked myself out of my car and Betsy can't find her ring (the ugly one from yesterday?)
Phone calls on the road home (in case we flip the car?)
Riding home into the sunset and chatting while Betsy films me.

san antonio trip day 2

1993.02.27 2.02

Here's a running summary of today's activities. Day 1 was the ride up to San Antonio last night featuring a hotel check-in and dinner at Garcia's Mexican Restaurant off the riverwalk.

Leaving the hotel and Betsy telling me that her grandparents can never EVER see this video. Oops.
Betsy discovers she's wearing brown shoes and a black belt and must return to the hotel to remediate
Ugly ring shopping. Betsy: "Is this ring ugly?" Me: "Yes."
Lunchbox shopping until the shopkeeper yells at me for videotaping. Betsy was just about to reveal someone's name etched inside a lunchbox.
Clandestinely filming in an antique store while mean shopkeeper lady is looking the other way
Mark rips off Betsy's hand (see this)
Ordering grub at Wendy's and sending back the chili. Betsy: "I can't eat those onions."
Buying Elvis Presley stamps at the post office
Betsy's first time ever through a revolving door. Wow!
Visiting The Alamo and the Alamo store (shortened because you can't film inside the Alamo).
Riding a trolley with me making dumb observations.
Mark buys a Lotto ticket (I didn't win).
Mark buys a piece of jalapeño flavored fudge. Mmmm!
Mark listens to his three voice mail messages.
Betsy notices birds nesting inside and outside of an electrical box
Having our pictures drawn by a caricature artist (this was eventually cut in half after the breakup)
Apparently sitting outside the local Parole Violators Facility (I have no idea)
Betsy plays in a giant wooden playground
Going into The Towers of America observation deck
Getting lost walking back to the hotel
