went to a conference in digital libraries in San Antonio ... actually didnt have place in my bag for my camera so i didnt take it but when i got there the place was so scenic i bought a disposable camera ...
the Alamo ... the place where they had some historic battle between the Mexicans and the Gringos ... i cant remember who won - it all depends on who tells the story - i had to visit since the conference venue was right next door

and while walking back from the Mexican market we found a "San Fernando" cathedral so Fernando had to pose for a kodak moment
