Home again home again, jiggity jig
I'm back in the great state of Texas. I think I was in the state for less than two minutes before I came screeching across traffic to stop at a Taco Cabana. Mmmm... burning. We ended up leaving town the night of the 7th, drove all night to arrive in Napa CA to visit KrisP, drank a lot of fine wine and toured the vineyard, then the next day went to San Francisco, did a little bit of shopping, got to see JoeyB, which was nice. The next two days were sort of a blur since we didn't really stop. We took shifts driving while the other slept until we got into San Antonio in the middle of the night. We left the next day to drive to Harlingen, then spent the next two nights on South Padre Island. It's been cool showing Andrea around Texas, I hope she has a better idea of all the things I used to brag about. She also got to see my father, and more importantly who I am around my father, which only certain people get to see and understand. It's an experience. And she hasn't run away screaming yet, so that's a good sign. I'm trying to take her to important/delicious places around San Antonio. So far we've been to Twin Sisters, La Fonda on Main, Taco Cabana, Jim's, and Candlelight. We've seen some friends. I'm only here for a little while longer. I leave the country on July 25th, Andrea leaves for Dallas (she's working on another round of Reality TV) on the 21st, so it's sort of a whirlwind. I'm trying to get ready for South Africa and be a good host at the same time, and spend some time with all of my friends and family at the same time.
Wow, it's raining really hard all of the sudden.
I didn't realize how much I missed Texas. There are certain things you just can't really put your finger on until you're back home and then something just hits you. I do like it here. I sure as hell missed the Mexican food. Sweet mother of all. My mom's put Andrea and I in different rooms, which kinda sucks. I miss going to sleep and waking up with her. I guess this is good practice though... :(
So I guess that was my "I'm in San Antonio now" update.
I'm putting together a book in which I take polaroids of my friends and then have them write me a note. I've done it for several of my Seattle/Tacoma friends, but would like to extend it to my San Antonio friends. So, friends, if you read this, please remind me to put you in the book, so I can remember you in South Africa.
