On the Ground in San Antonio

Pardon the sparse posting. USCCB Media Relations, along with much of the Conference, has been in San Antonio since Monday. The Hyatt Regency Riverwalk -- a beautifully cavernous hotel with a fun layout -- is crawling with bishops and their staff.

The last couple days have featured blistering San Antonio heat outside the hotel, which subsides into pleasantly warm nighttime temperatures, just perfect for strolling the Riverwalk and searching out Texas barbecue.

Tech people are currently working on the video feed that will link the EWTN camera to several monitors throughout the hotel. Their coverage is to be "partial" this time, with a one-camera setup.

The first public session of the meeting is slated to begin in about two hours (1:30 p.m. Central Time). We'll be active on Twitter as events unfold.
