Day 3: San Antonio
Welcome to the third day blog of this trip!! Unfortunately,
the blog only gets worse from here because this is the last time the Bashfuls
will write. Today was a loooong driving day so there's not as much to write about, but we'll do our best to tell you about all the fun we had.
The girls were beyond prepared this morning, taking showers
and braiding each others hair before our designated wakeup time. The boys on
the other hand were quite sluggish this morning because they decided to stay
up late having “bro talk."
The cooks passed out strawberry pop tarts and apples for
breakfast today. Some people in the group also added to their breakfast wakeup
meal with snacks from the gas station. We had a traveling lunch, too.
Some sleeping t-dubbers...

The first stop in San Antonio was the Alamo, this was cool
to see and learn the history!!! When free time was given, Jake
Inman, Zach Storms and Monte got matching San Antonio shirts and changed in the
middle of the park into their new shirts. The riverwalk was the highlight of the
day today and everyone loved it and the free time we had to walk around!!
Audrey Beaty, Madalynn Powell, and McKinely Beaty found SUPER refreshing and
REAL Mexican food! We met in the middle to cheer “Kat Daddy” or Monte/Kenny Fleming on
while he danced in the pavilion with
street performers!!!!

On Carolina Girl (the black van), Jake Inman decided to
sleep for 4 hours, and the last hour of slumber he woke up with pretzels on his
head, in his shirt and in his hands. Others on the bus played rummy, mafia and
go fish. Carson C. tried ranch and hated it. The whole bus helped counselor Daisy complete a crossword puzzle in a newspaper Miss V picked up today. Most of us tried to catch up on sleep
because the guys didn’t go to bed until around 2AM. The AC was barely
functional, and we started sweating on the way to Schreiner University.
For dinner, the cooks made turkey wraps for the people that
didn’t eat Tex Mex in San Antonio. The Riverwalk was a popular spot to eat.
Today was the last day that Happys cooked. We enjoyed the delicious food but we
are ready for the challenge to do better. ;)
We were welcomed in the gym by Daniel, the student
ambassador. Miss V briefed us on the Grand Canyon and told us about struggling
campers in the past. It changed a lot of our minds about what we were capable
of hiking at the Grand Canyon but made us more excited as they described the
beautiful view regardless of how far we hiked.
