We sold our car and got a rental car, drove to San Antonio on Friday November 20, speed limit 80!! Missed rush hour traffic. Found our hotel, the Wyndham on the RiverWalk, 3 1/2 stars, got through Hotwire, about $60/night. Took car to airport to return, only got lost once! The hotel was right next to River Walk, truly a beautiful place, lots of tourists walking along, but I got no pics! Rocky and I sure enjoyed it. Saturday did a Hop on Hop off tour, from Groupon, $27 for 2, good for 2 days, first stop: The Alamo. Sat and watched the Nat Geo movie, nice for those who can't stand for very long. Next stop: The Mercado, had lunch at Las Margaritas, great place for people watching, prices not too gougy. Wandered around the market, found open chairs for the free Ballet Folklorico show. Caught the tour bus just in time and back to hotel, for another walk with Rocky on the RiverWalk. Our tour guide/driver was surly and stringing together sentences just to be talking, it was kind of comical and disappointing.
