Last Monday while my mom was here we all went downtown to the famed Riverwalk. We were in the mood for BBQ, so we found a place called The County Line that looked good and found a parking place nearby. The entrance was down on the Riverwalk level, and the food was pretty good. After dinner we walked down a few blocks to one of the Riverwalk tour boat stations and bought tickets for a tour. The tour was very pretty and informative about San Antonio history. Joshua even sat still for most of it. His favorite part was the ducks on the river and he quacked at them every time we saw them. The Riverwalk winds through lots of restaurants, a mall, the convention center, and other historic buildings.

Mural on the con-
vention center made up of 1" tiles. It was a gift to the city from Mexico.
We were worried about the weather, particularly that it was approaching the 100s, but the evening was pleasantly shaded with a slight breeze, so we had a very nice evening on the river. I think I'm starting to like this town!

The Riverwalk looks beautiful! I am so glad that you are enjoying your adventure thus far- I have to say, I like the smaller wards because everybody feels so much like family!
It is beautiful. The weirdest part about it is how different it is from the stuff up at street level above it. Also, I didn't really think about how many hobos would be wandering around the Riverwalk. And because it is so amazingly hot down here, the hobos smell quite a bit worse than the ones in the more Northern regions.
The pictures of the Riverwalk were wonderful! I'm glad your Mom came to help you unpack. I am happy to hear that you are starting to like your new town! Congratulations on your move and on your upcoming baby girl!
