A Trip to San Antonio

I am at the SA airport right now. As I write this post, all the good memories of 3 days that I spent here are flashing through my mind. It is a city to the west of Houston. it is few hours drive from Houston or an hour flight.

San Antonio has a lot to offer. Be it a feel of the culture, good food or site-seeing. The SA people are always ready to help with a smile, which makes the experience even richer.
The city is easy to get along, you can walk around or take a colorful trolley. Taxi is always an option an expensive one though.
I personally like to walk, it gives me a chance to experience the place and feel the culture.

Now coming to the places that are a must-see:

• Alamo: San Antonio is rightly called the Alamo city. It a must see war memorial. located in the center of the downtown it is easily accessible.
• Riverwalk: as the sun sets on SA, the Riverwalk comes to life. You see restaurants and shops along the riverwalk buzzing with poeple. The riverwalk area is decorated with lights. You will spot a beautifully decorated X-mas tree at the center of the riverwalk; if you visit at that time of the year. You can take a boat trip along the riverside. I suggest taking a walk along the riverside during the evening and day time. no matter what time you go, one cannot help but appreciate the beauty of the place.
• Japanese Tea Restaurant: Know the history of the Japanese restaurant. it is being renovated. may be you can have some sips of the Japanese tea when you are there.
  
• Mission: Visit atleast one or two missions. if possible watch the 20 min movie to know about the history of American Indians. It a place worth experiencing.
  
• The Tower of America: Ever been to a revolving restaurant 500 ft above the ground, if not its the place to be. believe me it could turn out to be the most romantic date you ever had. Watch the glittering city lights while having some fine food that the restaurant has to offer.
• Texas- Ranger museum: It you never been to one. Go and experience it. See the different horns, wax statue of animal life from Alaska to Africa. It will take to back few decades to the cool life of cow boys.
  

Take a walk around the city or can sit on the benches provided along the walkway. Go around the Mexican market. Get the taste of the best Mexican candies and other bakery products.
Sit back relax and enjoy the trip to the City of Alamo.
