The San Antonio Riverwalk – A Unique Place with a Unique Atmosphere!

by

The San Antonio Riverwalk is a special place. I love going there, and I know my wife loves it too!

The San Antonio Riverwalk is in downtown San Antonio. It consists of a network of walkways on the banks of the San Antonio River.

Strolling Along The San Antonio RiverwalkThe walkways, one level below street level, are lined with many restaurants, shops, and hotels. They connect many of downtown San Antonio’s attractions.

When I first went to the Riverwalk with my family and a few friends several years ago, it felt to me like I was in Venice, Italy.

It was a Friday evening. We arrived after dark and the subdued lighting created a special atmosphere. There was a buzz in the Riverwalk that I had not experienced anywhere else in Texas before.

That special memory has stayed with me ever since!

by

We have known about Hamilton Pool long before we ever went there. When we finally went there, I couldn’t believe that it took us so long to go. It is sheer magic!

It is quite easy to get to Hamilton Pool, and definitely worth the drive.

From Austin, go west on Hwy 71 for about 18 miles. Turn left onto Hamilton Pool Road and drive approximately 13 miles. The entrance is on your right.

This is a Travis County Park, so you’ll have to pay $10 entrance fee per vehicle.

I had heard about Fredericksburg long before my family and I went there for the first time.

Fredericksburg Texas: Whistle Pik Art GalleryFor some reason people mentioned Fredericksburg more in conversations than any other town in the area. It was always, “Oh, it’s so cool, you gotta go!”

Then, one day we went… what a pleasant surprise!

Here was this charming town with “old-style” stores lining the main street on both sides. Each of the stores seemed to have their own unique character. The sidewalks on both sides were full of people wandering up and down and in and out of stores.

I was immediately intrigued… and hooked…
