Across Covid America - Tour of National Parks 2020 - Day 25

Day 25
17275 mileage
8:44 A.M.
8256 steps

We drove and drove until we reached San Antonio, Texas. We did make one stop for lunch in Kerrville where we had a most excellent meal at Grape Juice. Our hotel was right beside the Tower of America and a short walk away from the famous River Walk. We headed over that way in search of some food. 

I am really impressed again by the city planners. What an incredible set up along the calm waters of the river that runs through the heart of San Antonio. It's beautifully maintained and dotted with flowerbeds. Ducks were plentiful and were not afraid of all the pedestrians. There is a river tour company that runs boats up and down the River Walk giving historical facts about the city. Plus there were tons of restaurants up and down both sides. 

Loads of people were strolling up and down the boardwalks that kinda lacked some railings. Us Clumsy Folk worry about falling into the river, especially if so many people are all trying to move around at the same time. 

Masks were present through about half of the people including those on the boat tours. We elected not to take one to reduce our exposure since Texas was seeing an enormous surge of new Coronavirus cases. 

Despite that the River Walk made for a cool respite from all the heat we've been experiencing since Wyoming.
