Guus Bosman

New Year's Eve we spent in a restaurant at the Riverwalk. From around 20:30 o'clock till 01:00 we had dinner and drinks.

At 16:00 o'clock our time it was New Year in Bulgaria, so we called Nadia and Milan, and an hour later we called Middenmeer and Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. Then at 23:00 o'clock it was New Year for Irena and Jonathan, so we called them from the restaurant.

At midnight we went outside and celebrated the New Year on a bridge over the river with fireworks and champagne -- just like a New Year's Eve is supposed to be; we really enjoyed that.

Here are some more pictures of our four days in San Antonios. This is part 3 in a serie of 4 articles (see part one and part two).

There is a marketplace in San Antonios that is being promoted as "authentic Mexican marketplace, the largest outside Mexico". Well, that might be true, but it was not extremely interesting, nor authentic. We spent only a short time there.

Of course, being so nearby Mexico, we ate Mexican style food (Tex-Mex) and drank margarita's.

We have seen three movies about the siege of the Alamo so far: the movie at home, a History Channel documentary in the Alamo museum, and an IMAX movie. IMAX is a special type of theater, with a huge screen. Even though the acting in the IMAX production was very amateuristic, it was great to see the story on such a large screen (the movie used the set of yet another movie about the Alamo, that we haven't seen).

The house of O. Henry, an American journalist and author. It's a really tiny house, that has been preserved in its original form but was lifted and moved to a new location.
