Barry wanted to see the "River Walk" in San Antonio. I hadn't heard of it, but am so very glad we went. It was stunning, charming and beautiful. The downtown area is perfect for visitors. . . lots of hotels, lots of restaurants, big convention center. The city is worth a visit just to see this area. We took a barge trip on the San Antonio River, which runs thru downtown. The river is one story down from street level and makes for an extraordinary ride. Lots of plants, very clean, surrounded by sidewalks and, of course, shops. We had dinner on the water's edge, BBQ'd baby back ribs . . . good, but definitely not as good as Barry's.
Some of the older buildings have gargoyles watching over and protecting them.
Nix Hospital, on the river's edge. . . wonderful detailing.
We also visited "The Alamo". . .another look at history.
This weekend hosted the "Chalk Art Walk". . .Houston Street was closed and professional/amateur artists have the opportunity to draw whatever they like. The city provided the chalk.
