As soon as people hear that you are going to visit San Antonio, they say, "You've got to go on the River Walk! It's so beautiful!"
So we did it. It begins about a block from the Alamo, and since we had already paid $8 to park, we just couldn't pass up the opportunity. And now we are believers. It IS beautiful!
At first, as we descended from street level, there was a series of waterfall and fountains...
Then, the actual river walk. I was strongly reminded of the canals of Annecy, France, or even the pictures I've seen of Venice. The walk went on for blocks and blocks and made a huge circle. We only did a portion of it.
A wide variety of sidewalk cafes lined the walk. But it was the trees and lush greenery that made it so satisfying. There were even a few flowering trees.
Of course, Alastair's favorite things were the ducks.
The water had some left-over green dye from the St. Patrick's Day flotilla parade.

That's why we chose to go there during spring break. Who knows when we'll be able to go again? But I think we'll try to go again next spring break!
Great pix! I just discovered your blog entries today. Great recap! (Although, if you were interested in representing the time spent fairly, there should be 10 pix of Rockband, too!) :)
