9/27-10/1 - TEXAS

I have had the opportunity to recently visit San Antonio, Texas to view my brother’s graduation from basic training. When I first stepped off the plane, it was almost as if I had been slapped in the face. The heat was almost too much to bear, and I am from Georgia!! It was not only the heat that affected you either. The humidity is what made the heat index rise. I think the hottest it got while we were there was 104 degrees, with the heat index soaring above 110 degrees. Forget the weather though. The driving was insane. Drivers in San Antonio remind me of drivers in Time Square on New Year’s Eve!! They kept cutting us off and slamming on their brakes when they were in front of us. I think what bugged me the most was the simple fact that nobody there seemed to know how to use their turning signals. The bridges and overpasses were also crazy. No matter where we turned, it seemed like there was always someone there to cut us off. Driving in San Antonio kind of reminded me of driving in California. It might not have been so bad if people in Texas actually drove in the speed limit and used there turning signals when driving. I didn’t mind being in Texas for four days but I will never live there.
