Been many years since I've been to San Antonio, staying in the hotel across fro The Alamo. Had a drink at the bar where legend says Teddy Roosevelt tipped a few. Riverwalk was very nice too.

That would be at the Menger Hotel. Great bar, and yes, its where Teddy would meet the Rough Riders.

I like your watch.
Ozzy did pee, but apparently on a 60 foot statue near the building itself. He was heavily into alcohol and drugs in 1982 when it happened. He was so drunk he was apparently wearing Sharons dress!

I'll be in Austin in 5 weeks time, for a week, & was thinking of driving down to SA on my last day before heading back to Houston airport.

Of course. That's where Pee Wee's bike is kept.
