At first, when we moved to the Washington, DC area, we drove guest to show them the high spots of the city. That lasted about two years. The next plan was to drop guest at the subway and give them a map. At last, we just gave directions to the buses and the subway so they could make their own way downtown and back home. We decided the guest were happier being in control of their time!!
Our system has continued in Texas. Today, Rita and Ian drove to downtown San Antonio to see the Alamo and the Riverwalk. We gave them maps and advice, then wished them well. I love the Riverwalk but we have walked it many, many times, so we they were on their own. They returned just after 6:00 having had a wonderful time.
Even though they had been told about the Riverwalk, they were both surprised with it's beauty. Ian was astonished by the huge trees and beautiful foliage. It really is amazing to find, right in the heart of the city. Now Ian is reading our book about the history and development of the Riverwalk. It is worth a trip to San Antonio, just to see the Riverwalk. Now Rita and Ian have seen it...all by themselves.
