Texas Tour Day 6 - Austin, TX

We ate another satisfying breakfast at the hotel before leaving for San Antonio at 7:00 am.  The boys gladly took another hour and a half of quite time (sleep) on the bus before our arrival.  It’s amazing the positions those boys can sleep in on the bus.  Good to be young and flexible.  We watched William Travis, Jim Bowie and Davey Crockett fight to the death at the IMAX Theater which was about a block from the Alamo.  We then toured the Alamo and surrounding grounds before performing in the Cavalry Court.  I’m not sure which song got the most applause, Ghost Riders or the Star Spangled Banner.  The boys then enjoyed three hours of free time.  All did the River Walk, a stroll along a Venice like promenade with gorgeous pines, palm trees, flowers and restaurants.  The River Walk is a manmade river designed by some Disney folks for the San Antonio World’s Fair in 1968.   The boys also shopped, toured the beautiful churches and ate a good lunch.  We jumped back on the buses for a quick trip to the El Mercado Mexican marketplace.  Lots of shopping and souvenirs, then back on the buses to a private party at the Casa Rio Restaurant for dinner.  After diner we walked out their back door and down to the River Walk where we boarded boats for a tour through the river system.  The boys sang their way back to the hotel for lights out and sleep, which they will get a little more of tomorrow morning before we start the day with a live TV appearance on Good Morning Austin.
