Day 10


The night was chilly despite the great daytime temps, although not as cold as it was at night at Lake Conroe. By the time I crawled out of the sack the sun was warming things up and it was scheduled to be an extraordinarily warm day with temps in the low 80s. We decided to take a city bus downtown to see the famous Riverwalk and the Alamo. There was a bus-stop right outside the front gate so getting to the bus was no problem, and we met another couple that were headed downtown and they told us where to get off (the bus). We walked a couple of blocks along the river and found the guided tour boats, so we took the tour. It was a beautiful day to take a leisurly cruise on the San Antonio River. The guide mentioned the 1968 World's Fair that was held in San Antonio, apparently there were many new buildings put up for that event.

The attached picture is Cathey with the St. Anthony statue that was given by Portugal to the city of San Antonio for the 1968 World's Fair. (Looks like I need more practice with the phone camera!)
