San Antonio Trip - Day 3 - Riverwalk, Riverwalk shopping center

I liked to see the Alamo, but as we came out of the church, Martin's wife suggested to play more with the fountains. "Oh my god, again?" I thought to myself, but I didn't want to impose them on doing something that they didn't like. The purpose of a travel is to have fun. If they have fun there, why should we go somewhere else? I had this in my mind, and I ran into the water. I got wet completely. We were almost decided to go to the Alamo that Alexander came back. He wanted to try the water, and he ran into it :) It was very fun because the weather was hot.


After that, we decided to walk near RiverWalk again. It was different in the sunlight.



It was very beautiful. "If San Antonio had nothing but this RiverWalk, it was worth to come and visit this city," I said.














We also visited the shopping center inside RiverWalk.

















"Where should we go now?" Marin's wife asked.
"We should find a place to eat dinner," I said.
I think that she didn't like it, but I didn't mean anything. I said this only because we almost did nothing but eating in different restaurants. None of them had the explorer's spirit like me to like to see new places in a new city.



San Antonio trip - Day 3 - San Fernando Cathedral

I saw San Fernando Cathedral in the side of the plaza. I entered the church. 


The was a wedding going on there. I had never been to a marriage ceremony in the church.


I texted Alexander and Martin to join me, but they didn't see my message. I watched the whole ceremony. "Will I marry Taylor in a church some day?" I thought to myself. In a part of meeting, a woman came to me and shook hands with me and said something I can't remember now (bless you?).


Martin and his family came there when it was almost over. They took some pictures with the bride and groom and their guests.





We left the church after that, but I think that it was a very good experience. It was worth the time.

San Antonio trip - Day 3 - Downtown, Main Plaza

Alexander wanted to meet one of his friends near downtown. So, we drove there.





We parked our car in a parking that had a very old weird parking permit system. You should put the cash inside one of those holes and use a handle to push it inside of it.



Martin's daughter started to play with fountains. A few minutes later, Martin and his wife joined her. I went to a corner to say my prayer. I wanted to visit the city, but they had fun there.



I walked in that area to find somewhere interesting to see.





San Antonio trip - Day 3 - Habachi buffet

We were very tired. We woke up very late. We decided to eat our brunch in a buffet. I found a Chinese buffet near by.



It had a large variety of foods. I picked a little of everything.




Everything looked Chinese there. I liked the environment.




Steak was something that would vanish as soon as it became available. We asked the cook to give us a piece before putting it on the shelves.


I loved Banana pudding and another pudding that I don't know what that was. I couldn't try many of the things there. In fact, I just tried two plates of new things, and I couldn't eat anything else.
