It seems I-10 in Texas isn’t any better than in Louisiana. I think the majority of it from the Louisiana state line to San Antonio was under construction. The speed limit in Texas on that stretch of interstate is 75 mph. I think I spent most of it at 55 or 60 due to construction. That, and since it poured down rain constantly from the time I left Baton Rogue, on stretches that I could make 75 mph, I would go from 75 mph to dead stopped. Let me tell you that will make your hair stand on in.
Texas is such an independent state. Personal freedom is highlighted in the populace. So much so there is a large segment of the population that feels turning on headlights in a down pour is an infringement of their rights. Several times I was getting ready to change lanes only to notice at the last second, someone was barreling down on me from the rear in a black car with no headlights.
Everyone knows south Floridians don’t know how to drive in the rain. Apparently Texans have no idea how to approach a hill or go from a road bed to a bridge. There were a lot of backups and when you finally cleared the traffic, you realized there was no wreck, no highway patrol, no nothing but a hill that slowed the traffic to a crawl.
The worst part was getting close to San Antonio, it was so bumper to bumper you couldn’t change lanes, therefore I couldn’t pull off for a pit stop. By the time I pulled into Jo’s drive and she came out to meet me I said hugs later, bathroom first and ran past her. I beat my 15 minute record from yesterday.

No matter, we picked up conversation like I had seen her yesterday. We spent the next two hours catching up and then it was time to get some dinner. We went to Guajillos (pronounced was HE yos) for Mexican-Mexican food, as opposed to Tex-Mex food. There are several local places in San Antonio that you can get authentic Mexican. We did and it was delicious.
The first time Archie and I visited Jo in San Antonio, she took us to another Mex-Mex restaurant called Blanco Cafe. The food was equally good there. What I remember most about that trip was Archie walking out of the restaurant, walking across the street to a bank, lowering the state flag of Texas, folding it up and bringing it back. Yes, he stole the Lone Star flag. Trust me, it’s still in San Antonio.
After dinner, we picked up the conversation we left off. Tomorrow we dine at Cappy’s, our favorite place in San Antonio. Hopefully the weather will let us sit outside for dinner but I suspect another downpour. I suspect I brought the remnants of Elsa with me to Texas.
We also need to figure out how to pack the jeep and carrier with stuff Jo needs to take to New Mexico. Since I am not camping (thank god! – the rain) there’s plenty of room in the jeep.
Stay tuned!
