Travel – San Antonio
June 10th, 2009
I have but one word to describe my visit to San Antonio, ty-a-ring! We were so exhausted from all the walking that by 11:00 came, we were ready to crash. I had one beer and got knocked out. Due to time restraints, we didn’t hit all the hot spots, just 2 of the most visited sites in Texas: the River Walk and the Alamo.
Our hotel is about a 4-minute walk from the River Walk, and the view is refreshing.
The River Walk is quite romantic, stretches out pretty far, and is very clean. It’s just a bit too crowded for me. We took the boat tour that took us down the entire river, which is surrounded by sky scrappers and tall trees.
The River Walk was even better at night. The crowd doubled in size, the music doubled in decibel, and the cool breeze finally came. It was incredibly romantic.
The next day, we made a quick stop by the Alamo before heading home. I wrote a 10-page history report on the Alamo in high school, so it was nice seeing the actual building.
