The San Antonio Riverwalk (also known as Paseo del Rio) is a network of walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River, one story beneath the streets of downtown San Antonio. The riverwalk is lined with restaurants, shops and bars. Riverboat tours and a water taxi service are also offered along the river. Many of the downtown hotels connect to the walkway and major shopping malls as well as tourist attractions such as the Alamo are nearby. The Riverwalk is an important part of the city's urban fabric and a major tourist attraction. During our stop here last year we took the city tour and had the boat ride. It was nice this time just to walk around and enjoy the experience in a leisurely way.
Here is some more information about the Riverwalk and its history from Wikipedia
After we arrived downtown, we found a Starbucks (the first one we've seen since leaving home), had a mocha and a snack before starting our walk along the river.The weather was perfect and it wasn't too crowded.
There was also an Air Force basic training graduation at Lackland AFB nearby today. A lot of the new Airman in uniform (men and women), their parents, relatives, girl/boy friends and other friends were also present all along the walk. It was good to see such a bunch of good looking young people ready to bring new blood into to the Air Force.

After walking for awhile, we had a great lunch at a BBQ restaurant (The County Line) and took the bus back to the RV Park around 4:00 pm. We leave for Corpus Christi, TX tomorrow where we stay for two nights then on to Galveston, TX.
