I semi-packed the bike today. Did some wash. I then walked and walked and walked. I walked three miles down to the riverwalk where is starts by the zoo. This is the new part. The walk is real nice. Lots of funky art work. You meander down past a lock system and then down to downtown. There is a section that has a bunch of overpriced and overcrowded restaurants. All in all the river walk is a nice part of the city for visitors and residents. I figured I walked a total of 6-7 miles.
I popped in to the pep rally. Lots of noise, lots of excitement. Here I met a UConn grad who lives in Virginia and works for a branch of the Virginia government . He was in San Antonio for a conference and figured he would take in the final four and route for his alma-marta. He got center court seats of the internet. We walked down to the Alamadome together. UConn and Stanford gave him and the rest of those watching quite the game.
Security was much tighter getting in with the Vice President coming to the game. My fanny pack got searched. I had it stuffed with Kleenex. The pollen down here is the worst in 30 years according to the local paper. The security person questioned my abundance of Kleenex.
The opening ceremony of presenting the US flag and singing the national anthem was impressive. Vice president Bieden was there. He was in front of us at half time greeting the troops. I went to the game with the mindset that whatever the outcome, history would be made. Glad UConn made the history with a win, back to back undefeated seasons, and a shot at breaking the men's win record.
