San Antonio, Texas

Well second eclipse attempt, and second eclipse failure. This time in San Antonio, Texas. I flew in and spent the afternoon at The Historic Pearl Brewery area. As it was Sunday, it had a great festival atmosphere with vendors and restaurants and stuff. A fun place to hang out!

The next day I drove out to Joshua Springs Park near Comfort, TX. It was a good park with some casual trails. But it just got cloudier as the day went on, and I ended up with more clouds than I did for the last eclipse. Sigh.

On my final day, I visited the Witte Museum and then just wandered around San Antonio. The heat was brutal, but much more pleasant in the below-grade Riverwalk area. But with the river-boats going by and the general tourist-vibe, it felt like I was at Disney. I mean it was fun to visit, but I can't imagine ever going there as a local.

Not a bad little get-away, but overall a bust. I guess my next chance is "The Eclipse of The Century" in Egypt. Assuming WW3 hasn't started in the Middle East by then.
