A word of caution, while talking on a cell phone and moving about in any fashion out of doors can be a hazardous problem; tourists are advised to be especially careful of becoming too engrossed in a conversation on their cell phone, while walking along the Riverwalk. Pedestrian traffic along here is usually fairly heavy. If a person is not careful of where they are going, they can end up accidentally falling into the river or causing another fellow sightseer to get very wet.  « masquer
