Last night as we were updating out blog, Jud felt something on her arm, at first she thought it was a mosquito but we later decided it was a jumping cockroach....to say the least I was not amused.
while I jumped around the bed Judith managed to kill it after about three attempts with the more magazine. after much searching of the room no more could be found and we both settled down for the night in the same bed with the light on to that cockroaches could be quickly identified... (my idea)... a good nights sleep was not had by all to say the least.!
then this morning Judith was highly disappointed that we slept in missing the FREE hot breakfast that was served between 6 and 9.
when checking out, i decided i would tell gabby and julie about our experience last night - they seemed to think this was funny and common - i was not best impressed and so we checked out never to return!
today we explored San Antonio, Gabby and Julie on the desk in the hotel last night told us to go downtown. the buckhorn Texas museum was our first stop, then we headed off to market square, soon realising this was a mistake as it was 100 degrees and we were both feeling very sorry for ourselves after yesterdays roasting. market square proved to be full of crappy shops (ecuadorian kind of stuff judith said) and we both decided we were more high street shoppers.
we then went to the alamo - the most visited attraction in Texas! this was quite interesting.. however judith had did some background reading last night on this and was filling me in on the way into town on the car.. turns out she got her information from wiki, and according to the signs and memorabilia it was quite inaccurate.
the rest of the afternoon was spent dandering round quarry market a rather upper class shopping area. After last nights creepy crawlie shock we have checked into a new hotel and are currently gettin ready for bed, last nights traumatic events are begining to take its toll and at 10pm we are ready for bed...
judith keeps saying that the only thing that looks good pink is a pig... this is certainly the case for her thighs which really do look like raw bacon dear love her, although she is doing her best not to complain! i on the other hand have a very painful belly and every so often feel like having a little cry!!
after some after sun application we will be lying down for the night...
tomorrow we are going to san marcos and then onto austin to see what fun will find us there!
the sun doth shine very brightly if it was able to burn all of your belly my dearest becky. I do think cos yous went to america with blue skin you should have suncream for a few days. Glad to hear the adventure is going full steam ahead. Try to get back to Walmart and discreetly use your phones to get some of the pictures of people we see on emails....you know the ones of like 30 stone women wearing little booty shorts and 40 stone men in thigh high denim jean shorts with their belly buttons pierced and stuff....you know the ones i mean. Freaks we call them.
ReplyDeletesoz couldn't remember any names of things in austin when talking to you earlier...name of the museum I visited which was good was 'The bob bullock texas state history museum' http://www.thestoryoftexas.com/
ReplyDeleteOther thing - the lake i was telling you about where they do water sports in summer is lake austin - kind of hard to miss! We also went salsa dancing which was fun - but don't think either of you two ladies would be wanting to get 'caliente' with a latino lover!! haha
University of Texas is also in Austin which is pretty big deal, I did tour of that - but don't think that's worth you guys doing (amanda studied there, she wanted me to see it)
Keep your eyes peeled for Matthew McConaughey, from austin, still lives there...i remember every texan i met in austin telling me this!
Right, I am over adn out, need to get some beauty sleep xxx
