San Antonio: Riverwalk Cruise and Alamo

P1030292

In the morning, we had a nice breakfast and D manned the Mazda table.

In the afternoon, we took a short narrated cruise on the Riverwalk.  This is a must do when visiting San Antonio!  Well worth the $8.25 admission.

One interesting tidbit is that the river is only 3-4 feet deep in most parts.  Also, the majority of the river is natural, with just one bend being manmade!

There are some intricate mosaics integrated into the architecture.

There were some Christmas decorations up, but we missed the lights on the trees along the Riverwalk.  I bet that looks spectacular!

We were also able to visit the Alamo during our first afternoon.  It was nice being able to walk everywhere.

The garden of the Alamo has koi fish!

We caught a short recitation by a school group in front of the Alamo.

However, the real crowd started gathering to see this guy:

Ozzy Osbourne!  Apparently, he was making a public apology for urinating on the Alamo a while back.  Classy.
