Riverwalking
I must say, San Antonio is one of the worst places to have the World Finals of the ACM International Programming Contest. So far, its only merits are the overprices, touristy Riverwalk, which gets old after 5 minutes. If there were some actually nice places to eat and hang out without feeling like a section of Disneyland, I might enjoy it more.
I sure hope the international students who have practiced long and hard through their college careers for their one chance to come to America aren't so disappointed with the location. I'm just glad that I'm pretty self-entertained. I can work on my computer for hours without caring about anything else in my surroundings.
On a non-whiny note: It's so nice to be on vacation and not worrying about class and stuff... except that I needed to finish some things for a team project tonight. I slipped up, I guess.

I remember San Antonio being pretty boring when we were there on a band trip. In fact, I remember most of the band trip being boring. You could always go to the IMAX they have at some mall there -- I remember enjoying that.
Northeast of the riverwalk is something similar to the Plaza in KC, but smaller. We may check that out sometime, but we have little use for shopping someplace like that.
