I need to powder my nose..

After the last post as soon as I shut my computer it began to rain. I packed up my stuff and thought "hm...what to do with three fountains and rain?".....jump in them of course!! They were mini little spouts of water kind of fountains but fountains nonetheless! So then I kept walking and saw the Alamo ate ice cream and walked along the river. The River Walk reminds me of Venice+The Chicago River+The French Quarter and has every restaurant imaginable!

One complaint that I do have about San Antonio is the lack of bathrooms. As I was driving today I had to pee so bad I considered peeing my pants. I kept saying to myself that a rest area or gas station would appear very soon. Well after saying this to myself for 25 min I was fed up and had to pee on the side of the road...don't get me wrong I love to pee outside and be one with nature..but really get some rest areas out there. The second time I had trouble with the lack of bathrooms was at the river walk. The one and only public restroom was gated off! When I finally returned to the parking garage I saw a gleaming door that said Women's...seriously it was gleaming. As I'm walking towards it my hand is on the knob when this guy tells me I shouldn't use it. WHAT! Why the hell not it's a bathroom. He told me that people go in there to do drugs and it's pretty messy...I say "I've peed in worse I'm sure" I go in and yes he was right it was definitely messy. I tip toed around the pee and realized he wasn't lying. I glanced over and saw syringes...needless to say I peed really fast and got the hell out of there. 
There was one nice bathroom. It was at a gas station off of 281 and this place was the bathroom of all bathrooms...the stalls were freaking HUGE! I do believe they were the size of my room. But hey it's like I said earlier...everything is bigger in Texas. 
Sorry for rambling on about peeing so much but it really felt like the theme of the day.

p.s. I have never seen so many people being arrested or talking to cops about someone who should be arrested than I have in the 5 hours I was in downtown S.A.
