Cruisin' Down the River

We started the day by taking the beltway around the city of San Antonio. It seems that the area around us is rather depressed and we wanted to see what the rest of the town looked like. The western and northern sections of the town are much more built up, particularly around the air bases. That area looks more like I was expecting. When we got back around to the northeast, we went on to New Braunfels, a German community. We did take a look at the Schlitterbahn and it looks like great fun, but it is too chilly today to do that. This is a water park, and there are several different types of water rides.

We went back to the motorhome and sat with the boyz for a bit before heading back into the city. We visited the Alamo this time and then walked down to the River Walk and took the cruise along the River Walk.
It was very nice and we had a good guide. We walked along the river again and it really is beautiful.
Too bad we won't be here Friday when they have their river parade and lighting of the Christmas lights along the Riverwalk. But I'm sure we will get to see a lot of Christmas lights wherever we happen to be.

Till next time. . .
