San Antonio, Texas.
Land of American flag purses, big hair,
and awesome sketchy dives.
Host to Siggraph 2002.
Home of La
Melly.
The
big attraction, besides a chance to visit in person with the beloved
Miss M, was the Havana
Riverwalk Inn. Aside from a first-impression snafu grande, the
place was a vacation in itself.
We had several hours to
wait before our room was ready, and spent the last of them on the
patio of Siboney.
Service is infamous there; we waited 40 minutes for an iced tea, staring
at the pitcher in the corner and trying to transform river steam into
a glass the whole time. Eventually we got some ice and watched it
melt. It was pretty.
