River Taxi

IMG_5466

After stuffing my face with a huge lunch, I decided to take a river taxi up the San Antonio River to the last stop at the Pearl Brewery.  It was a lovely trip!  If you go, expect to see tourists, other barges, bridges, plants, trees, flowers, ducks, turtles, a lock which raises your boat to the upper river level, waterfalls, and plenty of sunshine!  If you are feeling energetic, you can even step out along the way and go for a hike along the Riverwalk path.

Fogo de Chão – San Antonio

IMG_5459

I first learned about Fogo de Chão in March, and have been wanting to return since then.  It is a little bit expensive, but the trick is to go for lunch so you don’t get hit with a killer bill.  I skipped the Hotel breakfast, worked up a good appetite, and attacked.  It was awesome.  Meats everywhere.  Check out the website if you have one in your area or come visit the one in Austin or San Antonio.
