San Antonio

 When we leave Midland, we are headed to LaGrange, Georgia, but we have three extra days getting there. So, we often stop over in San Antonio to enjoy the Riverwalk at Christmas.

We like to stay right on the Riverwalk where we take the elevator down and are right on the river.  On the other side of our hotel, the Alamo is right across the street.

We do three things here: eat, rest, and ride the boats.

During this season the city puts up over 200,000 lights over the river.  They are in long strings, weighted on the end, that hang down from the gigantic cyprus trees that line the river. 

The boat rides take about an hour and each one if different because of both time of day the the different captains.  They are very reasonable in price, so, we take two rides each day, one in the day and another after dark.

There are waterside restaurants all along the river.  Fun places to eat!  We will surely keep coming here as it is so beautiful and restful.
