San Antonio by the river.
We arrived at our hotel “Marriott by the riverwalk”, caught up with the rest of the team (now we are eight) and went walking!!!
San Antonio river walkway.
Russell enjoying the colourful gardens.
Seven (plus one photgrapher) in search of a Mexican restaurant, recommended by a friend of Jai Leigh as our dinner destination.
Busker under a bridge, Al and Chip looking on.
Rainbow umbrellas, at a restaurant, lining the shores of the river.
The evening was young and we did not give up on our five block walk, although tempting as we passed many delicious cooking smells!
We left the river, and headed north (or south) up at city level.
And finally (a good 30 minute walk) arrived at the marketplace.
A very much decorated Mexican/Spanish part of town.
Sharing the fruit, and enjoying the buzz of the marketplace.
Serenaded through a very delicious Mexican meal.
We then headed back to the river to take our river cruise, now it was dark and all the Christmas lighting is on display.
Past the gingerbread house (actually the courthouse) Trina and Sue staying close so as not to get lost.
So…… everyone else on tour in San Antonio decided this also was a good time to take the cruise! Rather a queue but we managed to get our ride after not too long a wait.
The lights reflecting on the river.
One of the many bridges we passed under.
Statues and huge trees on the riverbank – glowing from the light reflections.
The electricity services building lit up like a Christmas tree!
Lila Cockrell theatre – with the total top half in a mosaic artwork design.
Back to dock, the wind blown out of the team, all ready for an early night and a big day of adventures and fun tommorrow!
So it’s good night from the 23rd floor of the Marriott Hotel in San Antonio Texas!
