I had a training class for a week in San Antonio, Texas. Dennis flew down for a weekend, and we toured the Alamo, downtown San Antonio, and the Riverwalk. We had a most excellent weekend, enjoyed beautiful 70 degree temps, and took in the sights.

Ibrahim picked us up at 3:30am at Riad Ariha, and made the drive while we all slept. Except for Jon, he has difficulty sleeping in cars. (more…)
