Trip

So, a few weeks ago I took my first major trip.
This was not only my first major trip, but my first alone.
It was also my first time on a plane.

I went to Helotes Texas (just outside of San Antonio) to visit my sister and her family.

Below, i am putting some pictures (i got these off of the internet, these are not photos that i took with my camera - i will be, however, posting some of those photos here eventually) of some places that i visited in Texas, along with a few explanatory comments.

Enjoy!



This helps to show where Helotes is...



Helotes is a small community just barely outside of the city limits of San Antonio.



My trip to Texas included my first visit to a Krispy Kreme!



I got a fresh, hot donut, right off of the assembly line. It was hot, delicious, and made me feel super-sick, after watching it cook in the oil. It was a great experience, but i will never eat one of those again. One was enough to clog my arteries for years...



HEB - it is a lot like the Superstore of Texas.



The Original Rudy's Barbeque, in San Antonio. Billed as "the worst barbeque in Texas", it is really the BEST bbq in Texas! Yummy!




Beef brisket was an American experience that i will not soon forget. It isa cut of meat that you just cannot get in Canada, it does not exist.




Barbequed beef brisket, just the way that Rudy's does it! yum!



Dick's Sporting Goods store, where Pat and i went to buy a gun-cleaning kit.






This is the best internet photo i could find of the gun i got to fire off.




Shooting, if done safely, can be fun!





This is a photo of an outdoor shooting range, which is where my brother-in-law Pat and I went. Yes, they do look an awful lot like a golf driving range, only with paper targets set up on wires and no grass.

Hope you enjoyed my internet-based tour of Texas. I will post more stuff on my trip later...

Slainte, y'all!
