Good morning from San Antonio!

The Openrepositories conference kicks off this morning with user sessions on Dspace, Fedora, and Eprints. I am looking forward to hearing from the user communities on these applications. As I got into town yesterday I decided to try the public transit system and had an excellent tour from the airport to downtown on bus route 2. Given the hour it took me to go 8 miles on the bus, after settling into my hotel room, I decided to see San Antonio on foot! During the afternoon I saw the Commanders house, which is now a senior center. They were decorating for Valentines day and invited me to come back when I hit 55 (years). . .I happened across the King William Historic District, which is just south of my hotel and followed the riverwalk down to the Blue Star artist district. Weather/timing permitting I hope to make it back down there again! There were, of course the standard sights including Hemisfaire park, the Tower of the Americas, and the Alamo, whose basement is much smaller than I expected ;)..

Today it is all work until 8pm when B.B. King performs at the Magestic.
