Poifect, thanks. I've got the address/intersection for a few places that I found on Urban Spoon that sound promising (Druthers Cafe is within walking distance and have good sounding sandwhiches, the Original Blanco allegedly has the best enchiladas in San Antonio) but I was def looking specifically for a BBQ place. When in Texas, right? I haven't been to Texas since 2004 so I've been dying for some good BBQ....I'll look up Country Line for sure.
And you can trust me to not eat at the stupid Hard Rock or Rainforest. If I wanted to eat at those places I'd stay in Ontario.

Just remember too, it's going to be hot as hell here in July. Be comfortable, and I hope you guys enjoy your stay.

I purchased a few new sundresses and about a litre of sunblock this weekend just for the occasion.

I'll have to look into distance buses for stuff like that, as we will not have a vehicle with us. I presume we'll be pretty much just keeping to San Antonio proper though....cuz Nick has never taken Greyhound before and now is probably not a great time to start.
