We both had dental appointments today with Dr. Daniel Drefke. We have never had a dentist actually do the cleaning before. We really liked Dr. Drefke and his staff – they were really friendly and our teeth are super clean.

We are still figuring out how to get packages. We learned that things can be delivered to the post office via:

Your Name
General Delivery
City, State Zip

However, UPS said our package was undeliverable because it didn’t have a street address. The post office said they can’t accept something with their street address on it. UPS is in the business of delivering packages yet they don’t know how to do General Delivery. How do they deliver to P.O. Boxes? It’s been frustrating.

We actually relaxed after a morning walk with the boys. It’s amazing how busy we are considering we are retired. I remember my retired patients telling me they don’t know how they had time to work. I feel that. We are always doing something when we just hang out at the camper – Daniel builds or fixes something or schedules more campsites and I cook and clean and work on Happy Vegan Campers stuff.

We explored San Antonio today. The River Walk was amazing and had a magical atmosphere. We were lucky that it was raining because there was hardly anyone on the River Walk. We walked a total of five miles and saw multiple things like the lock and dams, the Grotto cave which has multiple faces, and the heart-shaped island on the river which is a popular wedding venue.

We also went to the Alamo which was completed in 1756. There is graffiti from the 1850s on the walls.

Then we went to the Historic Market Square and perused the shops. I found some cute earrings.

We also stopped at a Mexican grocery store and loved seeing the different varieties of hot peppers. We got some dried hominy which I like to put in my pressure cooker meals.

We ended the evening with a beautiful storm over Medina Lake. It had tons of lightning and nonstop thunder.

Two vegans and two vegan dogs traveling the country in a camper pulled by a Tesla. We love being frugal, cooking from scratch, exploring, hiking, and meeting fellow vegans.
