Remember the Alamo



We are in San Antonio Texas. Again, this is a place that I have always heard about but never thought I would visit. San Antonio is the 3rd largest city in Texas and has a rich culture and history. The three days we have been here is not nearly enough to experience much of what this city offers.

Wednesday afternoon after setting up camp we climbed aboard a city bus ($1.10) and rode downtown. Walking along Riverwalk was very pleasant with plenty of shade from the towering cypress trees and high rise buildings. There is shopping galore and multiple restaurants. We dined at the Del Rio and enjoyed another fine meal of Southwestern fare.

Thursday morning a local tour company picked us up at the KOA for an all-day Grande Tour. Our day included the Alamo and several other Spanish Missions in the city, the Buckhorn Saloon and Texas Ranger Museum, a riverboat tour, and the Japanese Tea Garden. It was a long day but we really enjoyed getting a real taste of San Antonio. 

I hope the following photos will give you feel of the things we have seen.
