It poured today! So there is no real sightseeing today except through the van window. We drive past the murals depicting the history of  New Braunfels. There are loads of historic buildings but we can only take pictures through the rain streaked windows because even opening them a crack lets a lot of water in. Hoping the rain will slow we drive back to Gruene district but still can’t get out. What should we do? The rain starts to slacken and we head out to the freeway but just as we merge it comes down in a deluge. We can’t see anything and the freeway is packed. Everyone puts on their 4-way flashers but visibility is minimal so we immediately pull off at the next exit and sit in the van until the rain lets up a bit. It seems like today is a bust for any outside sightseeing so we get on the road to San Antonio. When we arrive it seems overwhelming to me. San Antonio is big and the criss crossing roads over and under the freeway are confusing. Good thing we have GPS to find the hotel. It is a lot of back and forth and u-turns under overpasses to get there. Once we are there we decide to stay put and only to venture out for supper by walking. This limits are options. We chose a BBQ place thinking this is the lesser of the evils. Not sure if it is. The fried chicken is tasteless and we go back to our hotel room to plan for a better day tomorrow. Keeping our fingers crossed that we don’t get too much rain.
