Ye old stomping grounds: I see ya, San Antonio. I haven't been here since last year before my Fall 2021 semester started. It was a swell time we had. We played things by ear, per se. We stayed at the downtown DoubleTree. I remember eating at a quaint type of nouveau establishment: The CommonWealth Coffee House at the Hemisfair Plaza.
This time around, we're staying at the Hampton Inn downtown. My spouse wanted to attend the San Antonio Rodeo & Bullriding event, so she purchased tickets for tonight's event at the AT&T Arena. I'm sure it will be fun. We both like watching bullriding on occasion. Especially when the major competitions are happening (e.g.,Vegas). She attended school with the famous bullrider Jim Sharp, so her interest in bullriding has been sparked for many years now. The weather is supposed to be antagonistic. Lol. The forecast is "cold and rain with drizzle," which is actually an upgrade compared to last night's weather app prediction of "rain with a mix of wintry sleet." We're hoping San Antonio will be more accommodating, weather-wise, if you will. If not, we'll get around it like we always have. We're driven in actual snow storms while traveling in the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas. Still . . . I'd rather have nice weather in San Antonio to better enjoy things. We're hoping to catch a live event on Saturday night, too. Maybe a theater production. I read there's a production of the Orphan playing at one of the community theaters. We shall see. For now, we're just excited to catch tonight's bullriding competition. The rest is just icing on the old proverbial cake.
