SIGHTSEEING DAY IN SAN ANTONIO AREA

I had such a busy day yesterday I was too tired even to write anything. It was fun packed, that is for sure. Jennifer and the boys and I went to the Natural Bridge Caverns. That was quite an experience. I have been to Caverns many many years ago but this one was a very freshing new opportunity. Do you know the difference between stalagmites and stalactites?  The stalagmites "might"reach the ceiling some day. In other words they are being formed from bottom up and the others are coming down from the gentle dripping of water and combining with minerals. It's an amazingly fragile environment though it is perpetual in that it's been there for hundreds of thousands of years. I believe they said it took 100 years for a cubic inch of build-up to occur. There are others in this state that I may go to visit but we'll see. I was also taken down to The Pearl District of San Antonio. A very beautiful renovated area that used to be Factory buildings that have been renivated into a fancy hotel and shops.  it still has a rustic feel with outdoor peaceful visitation settings. We had a little bit of a walk around part of the Riverwalk at that end. It's a lovely area and I would highly recommend it.  we also went to an ice cream store called Lick.  The store only uses natural products and locally grown produce and produces various and Sundry flavors that are unique to say the least. Some made with beets and fennel and goat cheese and cilantro as well as creamy chocolate and nutty flavors. It can be vegan also. Very delicious!  Topped off my evening with dinner at their home. Husband Josh has been off doing some camping instructing for the Boy Scouts. Hope to see him tomorrow. Stayed with the kids and watched the movie Moana. Reminiscent of days with the grandchildren just hanging out and sharing the fun of animation. All in all a completely satisfying day sprinkled with a lot of love and affection, fun conversations, and sincere connection with my dear friend Jennifer. Couldn't ask for better. More tomorrow.
