San Antonio, TX

Beautiful day here in San Antonio, TX.  We were able to get out and see some of the sites.  We saw a couple local missions, the Alamo, and walked the river walk through downtown San Antonio.  It was a great day.  At the San Jose mission we met a gentleman I knew when I was in the Air Force 22 years ago.  I had a Colorado sweatshirt on and he asked me if we were from Colorado.  One thing led to another and when I told him my name he said, "You were my sponsor when I got to Peterson AFB".  That was 22 years ago.   He was a young single lieutenant then and now he's married with 6 kids and just retired from the Air Force.  He and his family are RVing around the U.S. for the next year.  What a small world.
