Fun day on the Riverwalk as well as a long day. Plans changed as they are want to do. Walked down the riverwalk from our Hotel to the the Riverwalk tour boats and decided to do lunch first. Found a nice little Irish pub call Waxy O'Conner's with a lovely, large dark wood bar. It was quite well stocked and nicely lit so I just left the camera sitting on the table and grabbed a quick snap
After a nice lunch, they have a great Ruben sandwich, we took the Riverwalk boat tour, Was actually an interesting tour that had a mix of old, very old and new history. I must say, I do believe that the "Captain" of the boat was a sardine fisherman in the past as he made sure we were well packed into the little barge before we left. A quick snap from a rocking barge. We had just been passed by a tour barge going the other direction.
After the tour, we walked the Riverwalk and ended up at the Riverwalk mall that has an entrance right on the river. Surprisingly the wife didn't buy too much although there were a lot of her favorite stores there. After finishing up with the shopping we walked the rest of the Riverwalk and down the river to our hotel that is at the south end of the riverwalk. Mid week we change hotels, from the Hyatt Place to the Hyatt Regency that is in the heart of the restaurant/bar area of the Riverwalk. When we decided to come for a few additional days the Regency had no vacancies due to conferences.
The last snap of the day is a little bungalow across the riverwalk from our hotel. Turns out is is part of a small, highly rated, eclectic hotel/inn with 27 rooms. This little bungalow has a veranda that faces the river and is wonderfully shaded from the morning sun. Next time we are in San Antonio we may try to stay there in that bungalow. The rate actually was pretty reasonable for what you get. Of course they have no pool, workout room etc. but they are not looking for the business crowd.
