We left San Antonio with plans to visit OKC and Tulsa, but were sidetracked by bad weather. Instead, we ended up staying in Denton and Amarillo. Denton was a decent college town, with a small and interesting "hangout" part of town. Amarillo was hardly worth a stop, in spite of their great tourist pamplets and website.
Right now, we're getting ready to leave Santa Fe, NM. We spent a day in Albuquerque, where we visited Old Town and the BioPark. Old Town wasn't really our speed--it's a great tourist spot for anyone really interested in Southwestern and Indian art though.
The BioPark included an Aquarium, Botanical Garden and the city zoo. I recommend the Aquarium and the garden, but the zoo is under lots of construction and the animals all seemed confined to areas far too small and dusty to allow them comfortable lives. I figure in a couple of years, the zoo will be just as cute as the gardens. :) We also got the chance to take a short train ride between the different parts of the park. Very cute and relaxing.
I also admit to being irrationally terrified by what seemed to be a very large puffer fish (about the size of a basketball). What do you think?
In Santa Fe, we visited a wonderful little restaurant called the Chocolate Maven. It was well worth the trek to find it for it's bakery and fresh sandwiches. We may even go back to have one last meal before we leave town.
Hope to post again soon. We'll be in Boulder next...after that...who knows?

Holy carp! That fish is scary as hell!
Hope your trip is going well. It certainly seems like you've made some fun stops along the way.
We miss you, Stephalopolis!
