cleaner

A set of very clean steps is the goal here – and I have a feeling this gentleman is fully prepared to meet that goal.

a pointed look

“You. There. You – the one with the Sharpie. Please do not write on the wall!! Don’t make Me post a sign!”

(What I imagine Jesus is saying to whomever He’s glaring at.)

lonely frida

This part of San Antonio had a lot more closed-down businesses than I remembered from my previous visits.

You know that I love to find places that look just like this, but I feel bad for whomever’s dream ended up this way. And Frida looks concerned, too.

tourism

This boat is called a “tour barge”, in case you were wondering what the proper name is. There are a lot of them in San Antonio, barging ( ? ) tourists up and down the San Antonio River.

Don’t you worry about the no-life jackets situation: the river’s only about three feet deep. If the barge sank, it wouldn’t even be all the way under water.

Also, I don’t think anyone’s who’s prone to motion sickness needs to worry as the ride is pretty smooth. Want to know how I know that? Well, look at the driver or captain or barger (the terminology is unclear) and how he’s placed his water bottle right there on the narrow wooden ledge…

remember

Remember? (It’s the Alamo.)

This was another self-assigned challenge: to get a photo of the Alamo that didn’t look like the other one billion photos that we’ve all seen. (Part Two of the challenge was to get it without a bunch of people in the shot – going at night when it’s closed made that part pretty easy.)
