Afterwards we drove down the street to the Japanese Tea Garden to look at the flowers, waterfalls, etc. So we took some photos on the bridge, by the falls, etc and spent about a half hour or more there. The ladies then went to look for a rest room and I found the buildings that I think were reconstructed to show a cement factory that previously operated at or near that site.

We parted from Luz and John and headed to find the Alamo. I eventually found it but from a different direction than I normally get there, so parked in a parking lot near it. I thought I completed their meter system when I entered the tag number of the car, but apparently I wasn't done yet as my car was towed when we came back for it. It was a big hassel finding out where my car was at and how to get it back, not to mention the $219 they charged for the $10 ticket I thought I had bought. I think I will search a little more seriously for the riverwalk parking garage next time I go back. Anyway John and Luz came and we eventually found the lot they had towed it to. Other than that it was a good day.
