The River Walk in San Antonio




















While in San Antonio, we also took time to visited the Paseo del Rio better known as the River Walk. The River Walk is in the shadows of the Alamo. We dined at one of the bistros at the water front, Cafe' McDonald's. Jon and the kids took a tour boat, not quite a gondola, never the less, an entertaining half hour tour of the cities beautiful sites. No dogs allowed on the waters, Padme' had enough temptation at lunch with the mallards floating by! It's remarkable to think this tourist spot began as drainage canals to keep the city from flooding in the 1920's.

Aww, how fun! Sounds like a wonderful time! I would definately suggest to Jon that you are studing the exports of Hawaii next time. Sherri

Padme' is so pretty, you have a beautiful family. I like the photo of Abigail at the end of the sword, what a ham, like her Mom! Shelley
