After a quick over night stop in Houston, we are now in San Antonio, Texas! We came here to celebrate New Year's Eve, as we work our way home. The area of downtown San Antonio is beautiful, with a slow moving river winding it's way through the restaurant on shops. This "river walk" is a three mile loop which is bordered on both sides by a walking path, and beautiful trees. The bald cypress trees, whose needles are a beautiful rust coloured shade, are hung with draping lines of coloured lights. At night, these lights hang over the paths and river like twinkling rainbows. Throughout the day and evening, slow moving river boats take tours along the river. We did an
evening tour so we could glide along under the lights, and it was absolutely wonderful!

It was a great party, but we were also left wondering what New Years would be like in New Orleans, where even a Saturday night was an excuse for a party!
