Stopped in at a Half-Priced Books and DLCS for 13 bucks!), which is just west of Houston, and stayed at my dad's girlfriend's son's house. His name is Rick and man is that guy loaded <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Kinda cool he's a kinda-sorta half-brother to me, ha ha.That was the 3rd day. On the fourth, we went to Katy MIlls Mall for a short while, and then we went to San Antonio and checked out the city a bit (a short bit down into the Riverwalk and surrounding area), but light failed us quickly.The 5th day, we checked out the River Walk more extensively, went to the Mall in San Antonio that's right on the River Walk, went on a guided tour boat cruise of the River Walk and was really impressed by the vibrant history of San Antonio. It is comparable in size to Winnipeg, and I felt quite at home here.From here, we hoofed it down to Corpus Christi, where we stayed the night. The next day (the 6th) we drove back to Katy on the islands on the Gulf of Mexico, eating lunch at a nice Seafood and Spaghetti restaurant, where I had an awesome steak sandwich, not being a seafood or spaghetti fan <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Back in Katy, we had supper at this pulled pork restaurant that was a short drive out in the country whch has a good rep around the area. Really awesome meat there!The next day (the 7th), we went to Katy MIlls again, where my bro and I spent 4.5 hours shopping. That place is HUGE; I've never been in such a huge mall before. I saw a lot of my spending money gone this day, but it was well worth it.Then, on the 8 and 9th days, we were back on the road back to Manitoba. It was a whirlwind tour of Texas - 4 cities in 6 days - but it was a blast, and I had a great time. The people were all fairly friendly, and we had no negative incidents (though on our way back there was this black guy in a big ol' beat-up SUV smoking weed who was really funny <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> ) and I'd definitly do it again - though with more time to get a feel for the different places we went.So that was the shorthand on the trip. Thansk for lstening <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />cheers,--N</blockquote>
