Gruene, TX

Resisting change since 1872...This is the motto of Gruene, TX. Located 35 miles north of San Antonio, Gruene is what I call a "hippy town". The towns consists of several small shops that are owned or operated by persons whom time has stopped. Rejects from the 60's & 70's, these people make and sell items no one wants...Including $10 containers of sweet pea laundry soap (I love my wife very much).

Should you visit? Yes, but only schedule a couple hours to do so.

River Walk

In early April my wife and I spent a few days in San Antonio, Texas. The city's downtown area is the coolest downtown area I've visited. The River Walk follows a river 3 miles through and around the downtown area. A sidewalk is on each side of the river. One can also take a boat ride up and down the river...which is where the below pictures were taken. The River walk is lined with gardens, shops, and restaurants. It is a truly unique experience.
