   The River Walk has some hotels, some bars, and some restaurants. You can
also take a slow boat ride down the narrow, polluted river [more like a
stream, really]. It *is* a nice place to visit bars, restaurants, and
hotels, but offers little besides that. If you have a car, though, you 
can visit Mexico [2 hour drive], the Gulf Coast [2.5 hours], or Austin
[1.2 hours]. Be sure and visit Snake Farm on the way to Austin! :-))))
