riverboat cruise

rosie, me and brooke

this was one of our favorite bars...a dueling piano bar...the musicians were amazing and knew every song you could think of it was called " howl at the moon" i think...good times



san antonio is known for its riverwalk...which is basically a downtown along the river...all the restaurants shopping and bars are along this river which you can also do a river cruise on and then the city is just above you...pretty cool!

here we are gaining some knowledge at one of the lectures
