On the road again. We got up at 8, but didn't leave until 10:30. A couple of things conspired to delay us, plus I wasn't hurrying all that much. We made good time to San Antonio though. Two hours and 5 minutes after we left we were parked and set up at the RV park. The only bad thing was that the damn truck started to regen just as we pulled into the park.
After lunch we went over to the club and registered. We talked with Lois and Gretchen for awhile and bought t-shirts. Then we walked down vendor's row. Most places weren't open yet, but a few were. We stopped at the Ranger place. He had just opened his door. Ellen wanted some new glasses and bought a set from him.
As we were buying the glasses a thunderstorm started. Later Ellen said it was a red one. The sidewalk in front of vendors row had a couple of inches of water on it. We walked back to the car in the heavy rain. By the time we got back we were just about as wet as if we'd jumped into a swimming pool.
One the way home all of the gutters were flooded. You had to drive down the middle of a two lane road. Something happened on the entrance to 1604. Cars were backed up onto the parkway. So we turned around and went back the way we use to get there (remember we go one way to get there and another to return). It was soggy but clear.
The storm was pretty much over by the time we got back. Then it was San Antonio steam bath time. The temperature was in the low 70's, but the humidity was almost 100%. It felt ugly. It was that way all night. We were thankful for the fan in the bedroom when we went to sleep.
The evening was TV and surfing. The internet here isn't bad.
