Medina was good to us. It’s where we rode out the national lockdown, and it treated us well. There was a lot to see and do outdoors, and while there were places we would have liked to visit in the area had they been open for operation under normal circumstances (like Hamilton Pool Preserve), we’re just thankful for all that we were able to do amidst the pandemonium. Maybe we’ll be able to circle back for those other things in the future.
LAKE MEDINA
MEDINA RIVER NATURAL AREA
This is a 511-acre San Antonio city park. The Medina River flows through it, and it’s a beautiful place to walk. As it was springtime, caterpillars were out in abundance. At one point we were in the middle of the woods, and it sounded like rain drops were hitting the dried leaves coating the forest floor. But it turned out to be caterpillars dropping from the trees and landing on the dry leaves. They dropped onto us a few times. They were everywhere.
ON THE MOVE
So now as the country starts to open up, we are on the move. Here in northern Texas, we were able to dine-in for the first time in nine weeks at a really nice place overlooking a marina. We were so thrilled that we went to the restaurant three times: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Here are some images from heading into northern Texas.
Thought of calling you all day and didn’t and it was so great to see your blog when I got to the computer. Wish I could have eaten that black burned marshmallow. Jackson, those caterpillars sure liked you! Yes, i saw the bull. Neat! Lexus was home from Austin, Texas . She flew back a few days ago. Coming home again in August. Was so good to see her again. Thanks for sending. Love You and stay safe! Gramma
