Alamo and San Antonio River Walk Experience

To begin the day, Pat, Bob and I went swimming and got all invigorated to do the touristy things today.

It is tradition that when you visit San Antonio, you have to do two things, visit the Alamo and stroll along and eat along the San Antonio River Walk. We did both today on a very beautiful day. Notice the blue sky and the summer type clothing. Nice.

When we arrived downtown, we ate at the food court at the RiverCenter Mall. We sat along the river walk and were entertained by music and sounds of construction. But we still enjoyed it.

Then we watched the Alamo story at the IMAX theater so we could get the flavor and history of the battle that took place at the Alamo. Then we took the tour of the Alamo.

Here are pictures of the Alamo and its grounds.
















After visiting the Alamo, we strolled along some of the river walk, and we picked a Mexican Food Restaurant to have a Margarita and a bite to eat. Actually it may look like Bob was drinking, but he's the only one that didn't have anything except for water.

Entertained by a Mariachi Band.


We will be visiting the River Walk again.
