We arrived in San Antonio on Tuesday night. The original plan was to visit the San Antonio Riverwalk that night, and then move on to Austin (which is only 1 1/2 hours away). However, we both fell in love with the Riverwalk, and decided to come back again the next day to fully enjoy it.
The San Antonio Riverwalk is a river that is below street level, and is surrounded by bars and restaurants on each side. It is a great place to visit - can be romantic for just a couple, or can be a great place to hang out with a group of friends. There is also a small boat (like a gandola) that you can take running along the river. At night, the Riverwalk is all lit up, and there are people all around eating, drinking, and just enjoying the outdoors. It is definitely one of our favorite spots on our trip. We highly recommend it as a place to visit for anyone.
There are pics of this in our Texas photo album also.
During the day, we went to Rudy's BBQ for lunch, which was featured on the Food Network, and thru a friend of John's. (Thanks, Gibi!) You can order meat by the pound (1/4, 1/2 and 1 lb), so we decided to order 1/4 lb of each meat and try them all - smoked turkey, brisket, and ribs. It was all pretty good, especially with Rudy's special bbq sauce. The best though was their creamed corn - something they are well known for. Definitely worth trying!
Next: 1 1/2 hour drive to Austin, Texas
