John, during the Alamo Bowl today, they showed a lot of film of the River Walk. It looks really beautiful.
I think that was a good reason to leave town, especially with a Texas team playing. But, yes, the River Walk is beautiful.
I remember when I came to San Antonio for my job interview. I had a bad cold with a fever, and the interview ended up including lunch on the River Walk on the day that everyone was in town for the Alamo Bowl. It was a sea of purple and yellow. I forget the teams that played back in late 1998, but I doubt I'll ever forget the sight. I loved the River Walk instantly, even with all those thousands walking on it, and that sold me on the city, even as I was not in a right mind to concentrate on much else.
One person interviewing me wanted me to write a review of the lunch we had had as part of the test. I couldn't smell, so I couldn't taste. All I wanted to do was get to my hotel room, turn up the heat and sleep. Thankfully, they had me do something else.
