Astros vs Rangers with Longtime Friends

Peter, a Brit who was Sneed's roommate in India in the late 60s, and his wife, Maki, are in America visiting our country and their friends spread throughout. Sneed picked them up on Friday and we immediately set off for San Antonio as we had a planning session on Saturday for the 2013 National Meet. Peter and Maki did touristy things - visiting the Alamo and the Riverwalk, and of course, shopping at Macy's. We drove home on Sunday morning and then went to the afternoon game.

Ah, what a difference an opponent makes...36,000 fans when the Rangers are here. Only 14,000 when the Brewers were here. Astros handily beat the Brewers but lost to the Rangers 1-6.
