Holy Anthony

Better known as San Antonio, Texas. Our first trip into town, since it was still early, was visiting the Alamo. It served as home to missionaries and their Indian converts for nearly 70 years. It also played a critical role in the Texas Revolution. Nice thing about the Alamo and the missions, it's all free.

The Alamo

From there we went to see the famous River Walk. That is really nicely done.  The San Antonio River Walk is a public park (river side walk) open 365 days a year, lined with individual businesses composed of restaurants, hotels, attractions and more.

It looks much nicer at night time

So many choices. We settled for the Republic of Texas.

Back at the River Walk Mall Rupert was right next to his buddy.

We discovered that everything on our "to see list" for San Antonio is close by our home base. The River Walk was packed with people, but the city itself was deserted. Even at the Alamo. You would think since it is for free you would see a lot more people. We already thought 3 nights is way to much. There was a 17 day fiesta going on. Every year at the same time for usually 11 days. Since Easter was in between this year it got extended to 17 days. Armored with more reading material we checked on our options for same fun besides the culture thing. Most fiestas were already done, or starting by the time we have already left. Oh well. We'll make the best of it. So much for Easter.
