Hello from soggy San Antonio
Well, we made it. San Antonio, Texas.
I feel great from the drive, but Jeff is a little worn out from sitting in the trunk. Hey, someone was going to end up there one way or another, and better him than me.
Actually, he drove the entire leg without complaint while I fought with video I wanted to edit from the 9th Ward. I still hope to have that online sometime tonight or early in the a.m.
Tomorrow Jeff is going to breakfast with a local Gator fan, and we're going to explore the city a little bit, hit the Alamo, Riverwalk and the like.
Then it's off to El Paso where one New Orleans reveler highly suggested we cross the border and visit Juarez, Mexico. He said it's better than the U.S. Now, I'm not exactly sure we're going to take advice from a dude Bourbon Street, but it does sound like an interesting adventure.
Should we hop the fence or what? What does one do in Juarez, anyhow?

hey i don't mind riding in the trunk. 'sides, it's the only place in the car i can comfortably fit what with all of Ryan's equipment (4 cameras, 3 laptops, plus four suitcases, 12 pairs of shoes, a portable sun-tanning bed and one of those salon-style hair dryers -- the kind you sit under with the thingie that covers your head).
Hey, see if you can convince some of the un-committed Gator recruits to get off the fence. Namely, Toliver, Paige and Thompson. thx!
ryan, i've been to juarez, it's a dump but a pretty neat place to see with the open air markets and street vendors. don't forget to haggle with them. remember, they need your money worse than you need their product!!!!
GO GATORS!
ps, maybe you can stop through ok city and check out b-gray! brah.
San Antonio is a great city, whatever you do - don't go to Nueva Laredo. It is a dump. UGH! Definitely go over the border near El Paso instead!
dudes, check out Ruidoso, NM. it offers a 12,000 ft ski resort. you guys could snowboard for the day!!!
You drink lots of margaritas in Juarez, it eases the pain of hagglers and the sight of small children living in poverty.
Sweet, Dave! I forgot about Oklahoma City. It's a bit out of our way, so I'm not going to call ahead, just show up on his doorstep at 4 a.m. Brah!
Hey I wonder if we can use our company credit cards to bail ourselves out of a Mexican jail??
