You can also take a slow boat ride down the narrow, polluted river [more like a stream, really]. It *is* a nice place to visit bars, restaurants, and hotels, but offers little besides that. If you have a car, though, you can visit Mexico [2 hour drive], the Gulf Coast [2.5 hours], or Austin [1.2 hours]. Be sure and visit Snake Farm on the way to Austin! :-)))) ---Jason jason@cs.utexas.edu
