San Antonio

It’s a great place to visit. I don’t recommend driving though!

I was there for a podiatry conference, did the touristy things, and missed that needle looking thingie.

San Antonio is my name. (: Gotta go here one day.

Must see the river walk, the Alamo, the missions, and Sea World. The sights and weather were fantastic when I went in late Spring / early Summer.

Downtown River Walk is absolutely beautiful

When in San Antonio, take some time to visit Gruene County where you will find the oldest dance hall in Texas, Gruene Hall. ... the same dance hall that John Travolta did the dance scene in the 1996 movie Michael. A great place – the holes in the original wooden dance floor are actually covered up with license plates!! The town is very quiant and has a lot of unique shops – great for those who like to antique shop!

I spent about 6 weeks here in 2007 and really got to know the place. Beyond the Alamo and the Riverwalk, San Antonio offers some great cuisine (not just Tex-Mex), and the people go out of their way to be welcoming…

Lots of fun

The Alamo gives you a sense of history and sacrifice. The Tower of the Americas gives you a good look over and around. River Walk gives you a relaxing afternoon and a romantic evening. The people are welcoming and warm. The architecture is retro and well-preserved. The food is tasty and varied. The downtown trolley is handy and cheap. San Antonio—a great place to spend some time.
