Closed for the holiday

It was a holiday – Labor Day – but the Holiday Bowl didn’t seem to be available for celebrations. In fact, it looked as if it might have been unavailable for several holiday celebrations.

Lunch

We’d come prepared for a picnic lunch on our way back home from San Antonio, thanks to a conveniently-located grocery store. Since it was on Labor Day, we thought the city park would be crowded. But it wasn’t; perhaps the heat (almost 100 degrees) and the humidity (almost 100 percent*) kept rational people inside.

But that gave us our choice of picnic table.

*By “100 percent” I probably mean “somewhere around 40 percent.” I am completely unreliable.

Which way does the wind blow? The answer seems to be “yes.”

The approach

Remember yesterday, when I mentioned how we were easily amused by the locks and dam on the River Walk. Here’s Exhibit Two: a water taxi approaching the lock!
