Lisa's Lounge: Just a little R & R

Just a little R & R

Ah... another nice relaxing visit to the Alamo City. It came about in a humorous way... Ben mentioned he had the weekend free a couple of weeks ago - free from band commitments, etc. So we just thought it may be nice to head south for the weekend. I started looking on the internet for hotels. Our favorite, the Menger, was booked up. All the other Riverwalk Hotels were outrageously expensive - at least to me. ($265 or so and up) On a whim, I thought I'd try Priceline. I'd used it before, and ended up getting a hotel too far for walking in the heat, but what the heck. I put in 4 star, Riverwalk, and $129. And got it! Ended up with a king room on the 11th floor, with a balcony, overlooking the river at the Westin Riverwalk hotel. We didn't do much, mostly because I decided to miss a curb getting out of our car as we ARRIVED - see photo below. Now, unfortunately, it's back to reality and work. pffffft.
