Still in exploring mode, we went on a river cruise, learning more
about the history of the city and the river itself. One sight was
"Marriage Island," where couples hold small weddings right in the middle
of the river. Then we took a pedicab through the King William District,
marveling at the architecture of this Southwestern beauty.
Shopping was next, with the main stop at La Villita, the oldest part
of San Antonio and now a shopping mecca with artists plying their
trades.
As we rocked on our porch at the end of the day, listening to the
sounds of the night, we practiced our Spanish learned so long ago.
Felicidad. Happiness. It was a word easily recaptured in this magical
place.
There were hearts and flowers and magic in the air on our romantic
wanderings. There was a sense of discovery and rediscovery on our long
walks. Cupid lives in the South, and his emissaries pointed us to the
perfect sweet destinations. We loved it all, my valentine and I. You
will too.
