The Major’s Walk-A-Thon: Special On-Location Edition – San Antonio River Walk

1.  In addition to all of the walking that I did on the River Walk en San Antonio on Monday morning (by myself) and on Monday night (with my brother) I walked the mother of all walks long and short on Tuesday morning. It was longer than any previous walk (around my neighbourhood) in ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ history !  The River Walk may just be the greatest place ever to do a ‘Walk-A-Thon’.

2.  Me and my brother ate dinner at Casa Rio on the River Walk on Monday afternoon. It was quite tasty Mexican food Jesse. I enjoyed the ‘Casa Rio Deluxe Dinner’. It’s apparently their #1 seller. It consists of a Cheese Enchilada, a Tamale, a Crispy Beef Taco, Chili Con Carne, Guacamole Salad, Chili Con Queso, Mexican Rice, y Refried Beans. ¡ Era delicioso !

3.  On Tuesday afternoon we ate dinner at Joe’s Crab Shack on the River Walk. I also ate there for dinner during my last visit to the River Walk in October 2003. I enjoyed the Shrimp Pasta Alfredo. It was an abundance of tasty pasta and succulent alfredo sauce with mucho bits of shrimp. That’s What I’m Talkin’ About !

4.  After all of that walking and eating we took a 30-minute tour of the river by water. It was a lot of fun, and our tour guide was the king of corny one-liners on the river. I think that he may have been a reject from one of the local comedy clubs. Nevertheless he made everyone giggle throughout the cruise. The cruise was sort of like a final wrap-up or summary of all of the walking that had been previously done by me / us (moreso me) on Monday and Tuesday.

5.  After the fun cruise we bid a fond farewell to the Paseo Del Rio, and we walked on up to the street level of the city. We took a few pictures over at the Alamo Plaza. (The Alamo itself was long closed by the time that we got there at 7 PM.) We spent about an hour over at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not ! right across the street from The Alamo. There was a lot of loco stuff to look at inside that place !
