It was the middle of the week and it was the day we were taking all the participants of the Episcopal Youth Event to downtown San Antonio. I was one of the guides on one of the seven buses. It is a short trip to downtown from Trinity University. You do the math....seven buses, three trips, 57 persons per bus......
It was in the upper 80's/low 90's and my sister, Christy and I had just walked most of downtown and crossed the street from the Alamo to Hagen Daz to cool down. While in the midst of tourists, kids, adults yelling, seeing people pile up with the tacky souvenirs, my eyes were attracted to this woman quietly eating her ice cream by the window. Nothing was distracting her...she just gazed calmly out the window. When she was done, she picked up her bag and elegantly walked out the door, crossed the street and caught the next bus.....
