Where am I today?

The afternoon was cloudy, but gave way to sunshine. The air away from the river and trees is warm and humid. Small green gardens and water features create a cooling effect. Barges filled with tourists navigate the river. The river walk is alive with diners, tourists, and shoppers. The Spanish influence is apparent in architecture, language, and the faces of people who call this place home. Tonight we will be taking a barge tour.
Bike sharing, an idea gaining popularity in Japan and the Netherlands is catching on here. Bikes are rented and returned at the bicycle station. Using a bike to travel in the city reduces carbon emissions and improves air quality.
Where am I?  (Hint: Richard Stockton from New Jersey died a hero here.)
