The Lights are Beautiful

Downtown San Antonio at night is beautiful with lights on just about on every building.   From a distance with a good camera and a high location you can take very nice pictures.   This first picture was taken with my Nikon coolpix S9900 digital camera that I always carry with me.  I was on top of the parking lot located on the university od Incarnate word, which is just north of the downtown area.  I will definitely have to come back and take more pictures with my Nikon d7100.

The Alamo is always a nice location to visit but when it's the Christmas season, and the Valero Bowl within a week of each other, then that makes for a lot of people in the downtown area walking around.


The riverwalk is also a nice setting and there are restaurants throughout the riverwalk, too many to count.  My wife and I have eaten at some of them and we have also tried the Margaritas at some of the locations.                      
                                                                                         

Throughout the riverwalk there are bridges were you can cross over in case you see a restaurant you would want to try out.  On this evening there were a lot of people on the riverwalk and downtown area which makes for careful walking along the riverwalk.  If you're not careful you could end up accidentally falling in the river.   The good thing about it is it's only about 3 to 4 feet deep.
 

Some big name Hotels are also located on the riverwalk and are a little pricey, but they are very nice. My wife and I stayed at the La Valencia for a couple of nights and also the Menger hotel.   What great about it is in case you both want to have a couple of drinks, there are bars and restaurants that are within walking distance of the hotels.
