San Antonio, Texas riverwalk

We stopped overnight in Austin and arrived in San Antonio on the last day of December to await Leon's grandson Gunnar's graduation from Basic Military Training at Lackland Air Force Base.  Our first day in San Antonio was spent locating our camping spot. Lackland AFB had told us that we could come early and stay there but we found out differently at the gate. The American Legion in town became our choice. Cheap, aren't we! Up on the rooftop...afterall it is December .. Leon went to fix the antenna.

We weren't there ten minutes when the garbage truck pulled up. Talk about feeling like a garbage truck magnet!

We were only about ten minutes from downtown and wasted no time heading for the riverwalk.  We stopped by the Alamo along the way.


Me: "You don't need a haircut." Leon: Yeah, but I could sure use a beer!"


I was so happy to finally arrive at the riverwalk again. We enjoyed a snack at Schilo's first!


The tour boats were busying traveling along the San Antonio river.


It was such a peaceful walk.



Who knew there would be such chilly nights. The Christmas lights hanging in all the trees were truly beautiful.
