Riverwalk (Part Uno)

As walked across the street towards the mall and we joked about how we weren't in New York, I realized that perhaps today would be a better day than I had thought.
With only four hours of sleep under my belt I couldn't be sure.
But I had hopes of it turning out well.
We walk towards the Alamo and checked out the beginnings of the Tea Party which already had tons of people there before we headed back towards the Riverwalk/Mall.
We argued with dad about rather or not we'd be going shopping on the way to lunch.
I texted Aaron and admired the beauty of the riverwalk, my eyes noticing the waterfall across the river and my nose taking in the scents of the many flowers that lined the paths.
And as I walked, I wished that Ali and Aaron and Tyler could be there.
I wished that I could share this warm day with them.
The wind was cool and sometimes fierce, but the sun was warm on my skin.
Once we had our little buzzer, I insisted on travaling a bit more of the riverwalk so that I could see what I hadn't seen since I was about six.
It was fun to watch the tourists feed the ducks, to smile at the hosts and hostess' who would smile in welcome as we passed their restaurants.
But then we reached a small gift shop and I had the pleasure of trying on some crazy called sun glasses and acting like a gangsta while wearing them to make my parents laugh.
Once we left there we headed back to Casa Rio and not too long after re-arriving our buzzer went off and we got an excellent table right beside the river.
And as I sat there and enjoyed the view, listening to the guides talk on the Rio Taxi's as they passed, I wished that I had remembered the get the camera out of the truck.
I took a view pictures on my cell, most of which didn't turn out.
And so I do not have those pictures to post.




XOXO,
Dollface.
