Day 205. February 27, 2014. Great outdoors

"We are still at Choke Canyon State Park, 85 miles south of San Antonio.  We took a long hike to a second lake area in the state park.  It is called "75 Acre Lake"

BUT, since there is a terrible drought, it is more like a 5-acre lake

There are a few fish and alligators in the small ponds.

In the PM, we went to a park ranger-led talk about migrating birds.  Pretty interesting.  On our way back, we saw 2 cougars, also called mountain lions.  Exciting!

In the evening, a bobcat jumped out of the bushes near our camper, chasing a rabbit.  Then, deer strolled by.  Wow!  

Dinner.....As an appetizer, we had raw veggies with some "kale-a-mole" dip I had bought at Whole Foods.  It is like guacamole with kale.  Should be quite healthy!  I fixed paninis using leftover grilled chicken breasts and  gruyere cheese, on a crunchy baquette.  It was fun buying different foods at Whole Foods yesterday, as recently we have been in small towns with small grocery stores, with limited options.  One interesting note about these small grocery stores.....their store brands are Shur Fine, which is the brand we sold in my father's small town grocery store years ago.
