Spending such a long stretch in one town is unusual, however poor health and poor weather necessitated it and we settled into a sort of routine.
A few days catching up on laundry, cleaning ourselves and the van, another couple researching Walmart security. Apparently they don't like people actually living in their lot. Thankfully we came out of the store right before we got towed.
With all the downtime we watched a couple movies, "Killer Joe" and "Damsels in Distress," the first being well made but very intense and the second being the opposite. Finally on Sunday, sick and sick of our lazy life of leisure, we braved the weather and set off for the McNay Museum. Cold be damned. For several hours we toured the massive estate in which hung Manet's, Monet's and Picasso's among others. We even got to meet a local artist who has work permanently displayed and evesdropped on a tour whose topic of discussion was how creepy Picasso was. Apparently he stalked a young woman until she agreed to pose for him and courted a 14-year-old by meeting for "dates" at a nearby youth camp.
The museum was a treat but massive and as we were not fully rejuvinated we needed all of Monday to recover.
