Riverwalk, San Antonio




The drive to San Antonio wasn't too bad. I was surprised that the road signs weren't helpful at all in knowing which exit to take, but we found our way. Downtown reminded me so much of some old cities in Brasil. There were lots of trees and squares with benches and fountains. Once you get to the Riverwalk, it's like entering a private garden. The street noise is gone and the trees, flowers and shrubs are wonderful. The walk is shaped like a "T" and part of it is much busier than the rest. Once you get close to the restaurants and the shops, it gets really crowded and noisy.
After enjoying the Riverwalk, we walked over the the Alamo. Then we stopped at a great little cafe for a snack. Heading back to the car, we enjoyed some of the old architecture. Back in the car, we headed East to Winnie, Texas for the night. Poor Michael had to drive through several hours of heavy rain. I'm so glad he was driving!
