So today we had the real experience of Texas. We went to the outlet malls which was absolutely amazing there were so many shops and incredible bargains. I was buying Osh Kosh T-Shirts for $4 which was incredibly cheap! On the way (it was 45 miles out of San Antonio) we drove through Texas heartland which was so interesting big signs, massive department type stores and fast food with no houses around at all just scrub. With the odd big water tower around! After the outlet malls we stopped at a Wal Mart super centre which was huge and cheap. Kind of like Big W on steroids.

We hired a car and drove to the outlet mall which was totally freaky and I am very glad that I wasn’t driving!

When we got back we went to the Alamo and as we were looking around we heard some music out on the street so we went out to have a look and saw the main street had been blocked off and there was a rodeo happening which was fantastic and so very Texas.

After The Rodeo and the Alamo we went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant and then went for a walk to the shopping centre and then on a river cruise which was fantastic! Actually got to go to bed at a reasonable hour and have a good night sleep which is totally great!
