Day 26: San Antonio, TX (Rest Day)

Mary bustin' down the door to see The Hunger Games

Today Mary and I enjoyed an awesome rest day in San Antonio, Texas! We both slept in... I didn't even open my eyes until 9am! Then we spent a little time relaxing, catching up on e-mails, and writing postcards. For lunch we headed a little farther out of town to enjoy an interesting movie + dining experience: the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. It was a really cool movie theater where you can order food, drinks, etc. all while watching your movie in a standard stadium seating theater. They also have fun theme nights and other events.

Unfortunately I didn't find a bike in the basement

We saw The Hunger Games, and it was really great. We both loved the movie and loved the whole experience. It's hard to beat matinee movie tickets paired with a matinee pizza lunch special! After the movie we headed down to check out the Alamo, and it was small, but still really impressive. We had a great time reading about the history of Texas and how we won it from Mexico (despite losing big at the Alamo). We were pretty tired after that, but managed to muster up the strength to do a little shopping at the River Center Mall and then head to the trendy King William neighborhood for an excellent Mexican dinner at Rosario's. The restaurant has been voted the best Mexican restaurant in San Antonio and Mary and I can't disagree. It was really delicious! We headed back to the hotel fairly late, but well-rested and ready to get back on the road.
