If you look on a map for San Angelo you will probably have to look a couple of times because it is not easy to find. Their claim to fame is the fort used as an outpost for the buffalo soldiers in the 1860s and 1870s. Besides that there is not a lot going on out here and not for several miles around.
That being said I actually think the city is quite nice. The town is a good size, around 100,000 people. It is humid but not anymore than most U.S. cities, it is certainly not Houston or Alabama humid. There is a really great river walk and probably the best park I have ever seen (better that the huge one at Wright Patt). We found a house we are going to move into in a couple of weeks, there were very few to choose from.
The house is about 2 miles from Lake Nasworthy, which we have already been to about a half dozen times. It is such a fun little lake. The best part is that the AF rents boats on the lake and they are so inexpensive. They are brand new '07 Bayliners for $10/hr + gas. I am going to sound like Dad here but it almost senseless to buy a boat especially when they are that cheap. We went out last Saturday for almost 3 hrs and it cost us $35 total. If we did that 8 times during the month, which we might since it is so close, it would only be $280. We don't have to pay for maintenance, the boat slip or winterizing or anything. Tally absolutely loved tubbin, he went so much on Saturday that Sun morn he thought his arm was going to fall off it hurt so bad.
Also, thanks to everyone who called Truman on his birthday. It was a very unusual birthday as we were in the hotel. The hotel we were was quite nice and it had a large breakfast area. We went out the night before and decorated it all up so when he came out to breakfast everybody could see it was his birthday. We went to Chili's that night for dinner and he got to have his own kids meal instead of sharing with the other kids. That night we went to see Ratatouille and everybody enjoyed that again.
