Day 3: San Antonio
A 4:45am wake up call was the best thing to start day 3 of our trip. You could hear a pin
drop on the bus (excluding the snoring) due to the amount of people sleeping.
We stopped at our favorite spot, The Flying J, and took our first bathroom stop
of many. After our pit stop, we were given a five-star, gourmet breakfast of
off brand cereal by the cooks; and then continued to sleep for the remaining
ten hours of the bus drive to Texas. We had our classic ham and cheese
sandwiches for lunch and headed to The Alamo in San Antonio for a tour.
While we were at the Alamo we heard research from Anya Y,
Haven and Claire on all of the cool sites. After taking a group pic outside, we
went inside to admire how the place had been preserved throughout the years,
then we explored the garden out back and the gift shop.
We then headed to our next location, The River Walk, where
we were given free time to explore and shop. A few of us even decided to have a
nice dinner at Rita’s (a Mexican restaurant along the river), which was good
planning considering the slightly inedible dinner of chicken caesar wraps
created by the cooks. After a couple hours in San Antonio, we hopped on the bus
and vans for a two-hour ride to Schreiner University, where people are currently
tackling communal showers… yikes!!!
Tonight we took a break from group competitions, so the
counselors could continue telling us about the Canyon hike and the cooks could
make a stop at Wal-Mart to get all of our food for tomorrow.
