Since my days (and most evenings) were free while Michael attended his conferences, I spent most of my time in San Antonio walking along the Riverwalk, either eating or taking pictures. Or sometimes both.

I spent most of my time, in fact, on the Riverwalk, primarily because it was much cooler than it was at street level. I did go elsewhere, but the Riverwalk was much cooler for walking.

I went to the Alamo several times, but I found myself more impressed with the gardens than with the Alamo itself. Probably because work had been done on the Alamo, so what we were seeing was not what existed during that time. In other words, I felt no sense of history from the area.

That said, it was a nice trip, I enjoyed going to the spa.

Here are some of the more interesting pictures I took.

Here is some more flower pr0n from San Antonio. It was once again weird to be somewhere warm in October. When we left Morgantown (at 4 freaking AM) it was in the 40s. Temperatures in San Antonio were in the 80s and 90s.

To be honest, that’s way too warm for me, but it was nice to see so many flowers in bloom, and I did my best to take pictures of the ones I thought interesting–especially the ones that I never see in West Virginia.
