After a great brunch meal at Black-Eyed Peas in some part of San Antonio we drove back to the city center by the Garmin and paid $15 a head to get on the river taxi that takes you around most of the River Walk area. The River Walk is gorgeous; it is enough, by itself, to warrant a trip to San Antonio. Wonderful architecture and superb ambiance. Lots of food, shopping and other stuff to look at the whole way. They even have a lock system that you ride through to put the boat into the upper reach of the River Walk – it is really neat.
We rode around for a while and then split and went to Trader Joe’s to shop. About $150 later we were on our way home and we decided to used dead reckoning to get home. It may or may not have been a good idea since I was totally unable to figure out the local highways and have scant memory of where we went other than we ultimately made it back to our campsite. The roads here seem to go everywhere you do not want to go and do not go where you need to get.
