Riverwalk Tour

Today, Thursday, Manuel had an early appointment with his doc so he went there and I visited with my Mom for a few hours.  When we got home Steve and Sandy were ready to go out again.   They are used to this Seattle-type weather and Manuel and I were ready to go, too.   We arrived at RiverCenter Mall.

We headed towards the barges for a tour of the Riverwalk.

     

We get our tickets to Rio San Antonio Cruises.....it is still raining/drizzling.

They look pretty happy "Walking In The Rain!".

We are set to go and a lady took our picture.....

A bronze statue of San Antonio/St. Anthony for which San Antonio is named after.

This is the Arneson River Theater....many shows/concerts are held here.  This is the stadium...

The Stage and Theatre house....

More of the beautiful riverwalk....

Some art along the way!

Hotel after Hotel along the River banks.....

Beautiful tall, tall buildings.....

     

The Bexar County Courthouse at a distance.

The red brick, green roofed Bexar County Courthouse again...

The San Fernando Cathedral seen from the Riverwalk.....We also saw this at night and it looks beautiful lite up....it is in an earlier post from this week.

A nice waterfall, this lady poses....

Many many restaurants and shops along the route, too.

My camera has gotten foggy with all the moisture.....

A view of the Tower of The Americas, built for Hemisfair 1968. 

     

This mural was a gift to San Antonio from Spain during the 1968 Hemisfair.

We are now off the cruise and spot these poor pigeons who are very cold and shivering....

They, the pigeons, are very tourist friendly.

We are heading to Starbucks for coffee and a very nice lady takes our picture.

Steve shows the cinnamon rolls.....

mmmmm good.

Before heading home and to allow the 6 pm traffic to pass, we made a stop to introduce Steve and Sandy to the Luby's Cafeteria.  We are downtown on Main Street.

Decisions, decisions......

A ask the waitress to please take our picture....

I had not taken a close up of Steve and Sandy, so here it is, Steve with his Phaeton cap.

Manuel and I wait while they discuss something.....

As I take Steve and Sandy's picture, the Cashiers say "Here Maam, we are ready for a picture."

Then Steve notices I am taking their picture and he poses with them.   The lady in the blue asked where they were from and when Steve said "from Seattle area", she said oh, I just visited the Needle Space meaning the Space Needle.   They were very friendly and cute...

I take a picture of Sandy and Sandy takes a picture of me...

Rain or shine, we had a great time with Steve and Sandy....  We are heading home to play cards.
