San Antonio Riverwalk





San Antonio was only a 1.5-hour drive from Austin! We made it just after the sun set.

In our quest for dinner, we checked out the so-called Riverwalk area just at the foot of our hotel. Kaii had seen it while parking the car and described it as "Disneyland" -- which it kind of is, but I mean that in a good way. When you come out the bottom level of the hotel, there is a miniature river there -- almost like a Venetian canal, with small tour boats! -- and restaurants and bars on either side. A remarkable marketing concept for an area that totally could have been dingy and gross.
