3rd Email: The Last Supper

(written by Laura, sent out yesterday evening)

Today was a great day! I was late to my first lab session due to late night festivities at a go-go bar were I made new friends!
I was accosted at the exhibit hall where a man with a massage roller decided to demonstrate on me. Needless to say- Kent and I will not purchase this item for our training room.
After a solid lunch at a quaint sandwich shop in San Antonio, where I decided split pea soup isn't my 'thing', Pallavi and I decided to take a touristy trolley tour. WHO KNEW A TROLLEY COULD GO 70 MPH DOW THE FREEWAY!
As Pallavi and I bumped along in our wooden benches, we asked ourselves: "all these hotels, where do the people live?" Our question was soon answered as we exited the freeway and proceeded through south SA! From the safety of our trolley we shot drive by photos of the sights of the Mission district.
After a grueling hour of bouncing on wooden benches we decided drinks and dinner would be an excellent idea. Unfortunately, my choice in food establishments are just about as good as Pallavis' choice in expensive museums. (Yesterday we toured a museum with the largest 'Horn' collection - lured by the idea we could drink and walk around-we needed those drinks! Pallavi had a hard time NOT petting all the animals)

Anyway! I digress, back to dinner. Pallavi and I prided ourselves in our uncanny ability to avoid crappy live music-until today :( the live music at the Irish pub (specializing in southern food) had a man performing glorified karaoke: poorly. As the man sang toons from his IPod, two drunk men danced madly offbeat and sometimes inappropriately (for and early dinner).
We baked in the sun moving our lawn furniture hoping to stay in the shade. The alcohol content in our hurricanes was not enough to compensate for the heat, the music and dancers.
We leave you now in search of a gun and hat.


Soon to follow..... An inappropriate picture from our bathtub.

Love always,
Laura and Pallavi

We only hope you are having as much fun as us!
