San Antonio, named after the river of that name which in turn is named after St. Anthony is one of my very favorite places for the SBL to meet.\u00a0 And it is fun to ride the river and hear the chronicle of the boat driver, whether you do it by day or by night, but let\u2019s start with night when the river and it trees are all lit up in bright colors as are the numerous restaurants.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> That hotel on the left was ours\u2013 the Hilton Palacio del Rio\u2013 the Palace by the river, where you can walk right out of the hotel and hop on a boat.\u00a0 And the temperature at night was in the 60s and 70s so even in mid-November it was very pleasant. $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
