I got lost on the "famous" Riverwalk which was actually a really nice try at charm and beauty! Kind of like a Texan Venice! It's a broad canal that runs for a couple miles and is lined with shops, hotels and restaurants. It's kind of under the main streets, like the one going from Cherry Creek to REI so it's quiet and almost country looking.
Nicely landscaped and lots of cute baby ducks. :) Tons of Tex-Mex and ice cream. I looked up the "best" Mexican on Riverwalk (yelpers agreed that nothing is good on Riverwalk since locals consider it Disneyworld. I told Danny it's like Little Italy on water for miles-- or Epcot Center Texas.) But I went to the one reviewers said is the only semi-authentic restuarant on the river. Fish tacos for me:
And no. It wasn't that good. But I topped it off with Ben and Jerry's so all ended well.
Back to the hotel for a nap in the sun and a swim!
Tht night I returned with a colleague for a "drink" (pomegranate juice and club soda) and couldn't believe how packed everything was! Margaritas and mariachis everywhere. I was glad to run back to the room and was asleep by 9:30.
I almost forgot--all this after a successful panel with the CDC on the glory of Health Bucks!
