San Antonio, Riverwalk

 Pretty quiet start to the drive today.  Rolling hills with three 7% downhill grades.  Drove through ranch land.  Another very hot day and white knuckle driving through San Antonio with the camper.

 A couple of campground pics.  Again with no Internet access except at the office.  Very annoying.

We took a city bus (it stops right in front of the KOA) in town to the River Walk.  We are like two country bumpkins, we never ride the bus so had no idea how it worked and we were the whitest people on board.

 The River Walk is the second most visited attraction in San Antonio.  It is "a lively flagstone esplanade that wends 3 miles amid tropical foliage along both banks of the lazy, narrow San Antonio River.  It is lined with lively sidewalk cafes, open-air restaurants, shops and hotels".  The city streets were blazing hot but it was much cooler along the River.  We had a little of a hard time finding our bus stop for the ride home but managed to find it just as the bus was pulling in.  We are taking a tour bus tomorrow.  I am rather like a salt lick right now and am off to shower.
