Our stop-over in San Antonio had been planned purely on the
basis of the train timetable. With no daily Amtrak service on the southern
route we had no choice but to stay in the city from late Monday night until
early in the morning (2.45am!) on Thursday. We had no idea whether we would find enough to
do to fill in the time, but as it turned out it was a real pleasure to have a
second day to explore.
