We took the bus<\/a> into downtown San Antonio to explore the famous river walk. \u00a0We went by the courthouse and then to the cathedral where a funeral was just wrapping up. \u00a0It was a beautiful building outside and in. \u00a0Next we went to the market square where there are a bunch of little Mexican shops. \u00a0I thought for sure I could score some of my favorite Mexican candy Pulparindo<\/a>. \u00a0The first time you eat pulparindo you are certain that someone is playing a trick on you…surely nobody would purposefully make something that tastes so nasty. \u00a0The 2nd time you try it you are just mad at yourself for trying\u00a0it again. \u00a0But by the 3rd time you’ll be hooked on it! \u00a0To my disappointment, nobody had it or seemed to know where I could score some of this strange but delicious treat. \u00a0We stopped along the river walk to eat our brown bag lunch then went off in search of the Alamo. \u00a0On the way back to catch the bus we decided to splurge on some Ben and Jerry’s since we had 2 for 1 coupons…even with those, its crazy expensive. \u00a0My favorite was The Tonight Dough starring Jimmy Fallon….peanut butter in chocolate ice cream is the best.<\/p>\n

We asked 3 different people where to catch the 42 bus before we got someone who actually knew. \u00a0It was an uneventful ride back to the campground and once there the kids quickly changed into their swimsuits to play in the pool.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio we saw was definitely for tourists…not my favorite. \u00a0But it was nice to be outside, with my family and exploring something new.<\/p>\n
