Today was the first full day Kelly & I spent in San Antonio. The plan (as of last night and even about 5:30 this morning) was to get up, be at the Alamo for the special Dawn at the Alamo event, go to the San Antonio Zoo, and enjoy the Riverwalk. This plan went out the window at around 5:45 when we walked down to get in my car and saw that one of my tires was completely flat. I don’t mean low. I mean very very flat. We decided to walk the 4 or 5 blocks to the Alamo and deal with the tire later. About 2 this afternoon, Kelly & I went down to the car to change the tire. It took us less than 45 minutes from start to finish (and we did it all by ourselves). I must say that Kelly knew way more about changing a tire than I did but I definitely feel more confident in my ability to change a tire in the future if I need to. There happens to be a Goodyear place less than a mile from our hotel. We stopped by on our way to one of the missions. They looked at the tire and said they couldn’t repair it. They showed us the damage. It was crazy looking and we have no idea how it happened. I’m having to buy a new tire in the morning. (It is the last Goodyear tire in my style/size available in the San Antonio area, by the way.)
I must say that this isn’t something I was wanting to deal with on this vacation. So far, it hasn’t completely ruined anything though. I’ll be sharing the highlights of day 1 in the upcoming days. Stay tuned.
