Since we’ve been to San Antonio Riverwalk a couple times before, we decided to enter from a different direction, and oh my goodness, how this place has grown. There’s still the familiar sights, but the expansion had us all turned around. We gave up trying to figure out where we entered on our previous trips, and just took it all in.
First stop, lunch. We knew we wanted a table on the water, and we also wanted to try some place new, so we stopped in at River’s Edge Cafe and Patio Bar. We had been eating mostly Mexican food and barbecue up to this point, both at restaurants and cooking on our own, so we decided to try something different. Steve had a Chinese pulled pork sandwich, and I had a shrimp fajita salad. Do we know how to live outside the box, or what?
Oh yeah, we are on vacation, baby!

Since we had a busy day planned, we decided to skip the boat tour this time and explore on foot. We recognized familiar places, and discovered new ones, as well. Still as gorgeous as ever.
The colorful umbrellas are an iconic sight.
This duck swiveled his head in such a weird way to get a better look at me.

One day we’ll take in a performance at The Arneson River Theater at La Villita

And for that matter, we saved spending time at La Villita for another time. It’s an entire village unto itself.

Oh hey, handsome! Steve is so reluctant to be in front of my camera, but sometimes I can sneak one in.
La Antorcha de la Amistad, “The Torch of Friendship” is a monumental sculpture that can be seen from many vantage points in downtown.
I found this sculpture popped up in many of my pics
Such beautiful scenery to walk off lunch, and people watch. I love to people watch. I like chatting with people. Oh heck, I like people.
