For 45 minutes the boat travels through a canyon of hotels and restaurants, passes under bridges and lush vegetation, floats by waterfall and shops, and is a journey through San Antonio history. Hopefully you have had a chance to visit River Walk, but if not do so when in town.
After the boat ride we took River Walk to Rivercenter Mall for a little shopping. We were lead to believe it would be a WOW, but it turned out to be just another aging mall. Barb found a place to get her bangs cut and there was a Macy’s, where I found two shirts and Barb got skunked.
Now it was time for lunch and we found a table right on River Walk. We split a couple of enchiladas, beans and rice. Oh, and a couple of Dos Equis Amber. After eating we were a little tired of the heat, so we headed back to the motel for some rest, before heading back to River Walk to look around a little more and find dinner.
If you choose the correct side of the street in the late afternoon you can walk almost all the way to River Walk in the shade. We followed the loop around to the Rio Rio Cantina, where we ordered a couple of margaritas and again shared chicken fajitas. Great food and a great setting. Only problem with being right on the water is the ducks pecking at your feet trying to get a handout. A slow walk back to the motel and off to bed early. We’ll be heading to Amarillo and it’s going to be one of those 500+ mile days.
