Reminder to self – Don’t go to the San Antonio Riverwalk on a beautiful Saturday night to walk around and look at the Christmas lights. About 1 billion people have the same plans. Oh well, mission accomplished, and the result was some nice photos.

Guadalupe River State Park – Hiking
I took it easy today, and went for a few of the short hikes in the Guadalupe River State Park. I walked along the river and I went to see the view from the overlook. I will definitely go back again when I can spend more time on the longer hikes in the park.
Rio Vista Park
I drove down to San Antonio this afternoon, and stopped at Rio Vista Park in San Marcos. It was a beautiful afternoon and there were several kayakers out having fun in the artificial rapids. It made for a great rest stop before continuing my trip to San Antonio.
Sunflowers
There is an Electric Garden in Austin with fifteen solar collecting Sunflowers. The solar photovoltaic panels collect energy throughout the day and provide a unique display of art. At night, the stems light up and use a portion of the energy collected to make the Electric Sunflower Garden look really cool.
Georgetown Lights
They started wrapping the trees on the Georgetown Square in lights. They look awesome. Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! 🙂
Via Colori
Via Colori! Please go to this festival if you ever have the opportunity. The streets of the Theater District in Downtown Houston were blocked off and filled with people, sunshine, music, food, drink, and some incredible chalk art. 🙂
Downtown Houston
The Theater District in Downtown Houston is awesome. I walked around the area today with my head up in the sky admiring the tall building architecture on display.
Rienzi Gardens
The Rienzi Gardens in the River Oaks area of Houston are free and open to the public during the operating hours of the Rienzi House Museum. Beware, because the website indicates a 4.4 acre setting, but for some reason, much of it was roped off today. Still, the small part I was allowed to visit was special.
Embassy Suites – Houston Galleria
This Embassy Suites is known for its Royal Swans – “Pa” and “Gram”. The hotel is located within a short walk of the Houston Galleria and several restaurants. I had a nice, relaxing weekend there.
Williams Tower
Just across the lawn from the Waterwall in Houston is this awesome building. And the lawn makes for a good picnic spot or ultimate frisbee field – if it is not pouring down rain like it tends to do in Houston.
