Sigh! We've had experiences like that. Other times we've been in a
location for a short time and then (military) moved on before we could
get back. If you're ever in San Angelo, TX, go to Zentner's Daughter, a
steakhouse. We were in San Angleo only a few months but got there twice,
both times bringing home enough leftovers to feed us for several days
(our girls were young and didn't eat a lot).
