Just Another Rainy Sunday

     We have found when we travel for a long time we need to take days off from sightseeing.  We get tired.  So we slept in this Sunday morning, had a real breakfast, and did chores.  But everyday errand running in a new town is interesting.  We needed a new smoke detector so we decided to go to Walmart which has a bunch of RV items.  Good old Google Maps helped me find the nearest Walmart SuperCenter and we headed out into the rain to buy groceries and RV stuff.
    We got back, did laundry, and cleaned the RV.  The upside of having less than 200 square feet is that it doesn't take long to clean.  As a reward for our hard work Google found us a movie theater so we could see an early show.  Our campground is in an industrial area, so there is nothing close by. We followed Google's directions across town to the theater.  Our drive took us through some really nice neighborhoods with huge houses.  It seems like the homes are really close together, though.  I don't understand why they are on such small lots.  I really like the older homes built in a Texas Cottage style with a front porch and a metal roof.  We saw a lot of these in New Braunfels, but they are crowded in between the McMansions as well.
   I also thought about traveling around a town without any idea of whether we are in a "safe" neighborhood or one that is a high crime area.  As it turned out we certainly were in a nice neighborhood and the theater was a two story, 24 screen monster.  We saw "The Martian" which had a bunch of scenes at the NASA Space Center in Houston - our planned sightseeing spot for tomorrow!
   We set off on foot in the nearby neighborhood for dinner and found a great Mediterranean Cafe for dinner.  When we left the cafe we could see stars!  A clear night sky!  I have high hopes for tomorrow.
