Lucky us!!! Bob had medical meetings in San Antonio exactly the same time as Provo School District's Fall Break! So, Josh, Colby, Jane Anne, and I flew with him to Texas on Wed. afternoon. We were struck by the humidity as we exited the plane. The next day was almost 100 degrees and very humid! So much for a good hair day!!!
The first thing we did while Bob was in meetings was to go literally across the street to the Alamo. For those of you who aren't really up on Texas history like me, this is the site of 180 brave men trying to fight off dictator Santa Ana's 1000 Mexican troops and defend their right to liberty. They all met their death with the cry of "Victory or Death" on their lips. Davey Crockett and Jim Bowie were two of the famous men who died there. Just a few weeks after this defeat, General Sam Houston was able to crush Santa Ana in a battle at the Rio Grande river with the rallying cry of "Remember the Alamo".
