A 20,000 step (River)Walk

Well, that was quite the day.  Logged around 15K and for me 20,000 steps.  Buttercup ended with 23,000+ steps.  We went up and down, back and forth, and all around the Riverwalk today.  We made it to the Alamo, and as previously described to me by a co-worker (Gary B), it was a bit underwhelming, as kind of just a "room" after hearing about the lore of the Alamo my whole life.  We aren't much into history, despite one of us (not me) having an undergrad degree in history, but we did read some and learned about the various stages of the Alamo over the years and saw the models showing the fort back in the 1800s.  Worth seeing.  And later in the day, once closed, you can get a shot sans a bunch of tourists out front. 


We stayed out until the evening to check out the place with lights...



Tons of other pictures in the album.  A couple I especially like this one:


our authentic Mexican dessert place:


We also went to a local downtown Mexican place today that on TripAdvisor was called "El Jalisco" but when we arrived at the address it was "La Mexicana".  Tasty and a relative bargain.  Another update tomorrow.
