Visit to the Alamo

Went to the Alamo and Riverwalk in San Antonio. Both are located down town and just a few blocks from each other. Enjoyed the tour. There is an outdoor area with gardens and paths around the Alamo. We then went to the riverwalk. It is below street level, you go down stairs and walk along sidewalks that border both sides of the "river". Part of the river has dirt bottom but for flood control reason some had been concreted and flood gate installed. We took the boat tour which lasted about a half an hour. The tour explained the development of the riverwalk and the history of some of the buildings along it. The walk is mostly restaurants and hotels not much else. But is was very nice. We are leaving tomorrow for Corpus Christi area. Plan on spending some time there. Just kick back on enjoy the coast.
