I have always had a soft spot for San Antonio, Texas. I am emotionally attached to the place. Kuttyma’s first trip outside Houston was to San Antonio in early 2010 and I knew I had to take her back during our recent trip to the States. This was the first time kuttyma was actually able to enjoy the city. The day we ended up in San Antonio was cold, grey and rainy. I wish I could change that. It would have been great to have sunny weather and explore the missions.

But since we were there during Christmas, the Riverwalk was all decked up. It was beautiful and crowded. Kuttyma was firm – she wanted to the River cruise and patiently waited in the cold for nearly 40 minutes. She surprised me.

We also went to an old favorite – Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. Kuttyma was able to observe, appreciate and feed the wildlife. The petting zoo remained her favorite. She found a couple of goat kids and kept running behind them. The zebras came second.

We came back with lots of memories. I am sure we will be back in San Antonio soon.
