Remember the Alamo

While on our anniversary trip, we made a visit to San Antonio. I had never been, so it was fun and interesting to see new territory. Of course, we checked out the Alamo. It was a lot smaller than you'd think (common reaction, right?), but provided plenty of history and information. The museum boasted impressive artifacts, especially Davey Crockett's gun and personal items.

We also strolled down the river walk. It is soooooo great; maybe my favorite part of the city. It is amazing to realize the river is a natural river and not a man-made attraction because it is so neatly kept. We took the boat ride too, which helped me understand the development of the city around the river, etc. It was also a very beautiful ride with waterfalls, duckies, and great views of detailed architecture.

Our San Antonio day came to an end in the Market Square--an hispanic flea market of sorts. We did find a Christmas gift or two! And we enjoyed buying pastries from an authentic Mexican bakery. Mmmmmm, smelled so good!

Like I said, I had never been to San Antonio before, so I was a bit entranced by the double-decker highways. The land area was not wide enough for them to create four lanes (on one side) for traffic, so they make two lanes below and two lanes above, but it is all the same highway!!!! Ah, the Texas roadways....always tricky. :-)
