Leaving Dallas

Yesterday we bid a fond farewell to Dave and Helga around 09:30 and headed out for San Antonio. Pleasant uneventful drive. We did notice increasing numbers of palm type trees with the occasional cactus at the side of the road. Wow, what a difference from Kitchener!
Also noticed that some highways down here have a speed limit of 80 mph or 130 km/h (!) -  we just trundled along at our 55. We did catch a break, though, with a strong tailwind, as our gas mileage was almost what it is without the trailer!!!
Around 5 pm we found the Stone Creek RV Park in Schertz, about 20 miles outside San Antonio. Nice enough park, well off the road - kinda looks like Dieter and Heather's park in Florida. It is a bit crowded, but at least there are trees which by the way, are in full leaf!
People are of course great here, not sure whether that's just basic southern hospitality or campers' relaxed frame of mind.
After supper, found a Walmart store nearby and replenished our fridge. Haven't had to worry about groceries for a few days while Dave and Helga were hosting us, and very well they did!
A little cooler today, 14C, had to put long pants on again! Supposed to be cloudy so perhaps a chance to sit back and relax, but I'm not sure whether Gypsy Jo will let me get away with that!
We hear that there is to be an ice cream social tonight in the rec hall ....  perhaps we'll go out for that seeing as we missed bingo last night.  When in Rome......
