Part 2: Bob joined me for our San Antonio Hill Country Hikers Urban
Walk in the King William District and along the south Riverwalk to
Roosevelt Park. We started at 7:00 p.m. and headed south from the Blue
Star Brewery area along the south Riverwalk to Roosevelt Park. Eighteen people
walked this evening.

You never know what you will see. I like the way the following homeowners think. See photo below.

Most of the people walked past the heron below. He
was as still as a statue about
four feet from the path.

The Hill Country Hikers walked at a moderate pace
tonight, not the “fitness hike” pace of last Friday night. I still had
to run to catch up when I stopped to take a photo. Wait a minute! I
don’t want to be a runner, but I’ll sacrifice for a good photo. Jasmine
bloomed along the trail so we had pockets of sweet jasmine perfume as we
walked.

The temperature was just right at 72
degrees, but it was rather humid. The good news is there was a very nice
breeze blowing so we didn’t get too sticky. Total miles for this hike:
4.5.

Total miles I hiked today: 10.7.

Our
hike finished at 8:25 p.m. Bob and I walked across the street to La Tuna Grill where we had fish and chips for dinner.
I had a Corona with lime and Bob had a Modelo beer. The grill had the
Spurs play-off game on HDTV. Very good.

Travel Bug out.
