San Antonio, TX

We arrived at San Antonio KOA Saturday, April 23rd early enough to enjoy the HOT, HUMID, WINDY outdoors. While checking in we asked for suggestions for Mexican food for dinner. One gal suggested El Jacalito Mexican Restaurant, not too far from the park, and the other gal said she ONLY goes downtown to eat. After driving 319 miles, the guys voted for the nearest eatery to the KOA. So after setting up and Norm & Cheryl watched Rita, their dog, chase the squirrels, we headed to El Jacalito's only to find it closed! After seeing the outside of the restaurant and the surrounding area, we were glad it wasn't open! So we put another address into the GPS which took us to a restaurant downtown, aka San Antonio River Walk. By the time we got to the restaurant and the fellas parked the car, we KNEW we would NOT drive to downtown San Antonio again. The Casa Rio Mexican Restaurant was VERY BUSY and the food was pretty good but since the parking was $10.00 for the 1st 2 hrs AND none of us had our cameras, we didn't do ANY sight seeing. Sunday morning we caught the shuttle bus right outside the campground for the leisurely 15 minute ride to the Alamo and downtown San Antonio River Walk.

The Alamo

Memorial for those who fought for the Alamo

Front of Memorial

The Alamo was very interesting and informative and, I believe, a "must see" when in San Antonio.
From there we walked to the Buckhorn for a bite to eat.

 I swear, that's all we do is EAT!!!!

Do I need to explain why they call it the Buckhorn??

After lunch we walked along the River Walk and took the boat ride. I'll let the

pictures show how beautiful it is!!

 

Can you tell why this picture will always remind me that we were here on Easter Sunday??

It was a perfect day, spent with good friends on the River Walk.

Monday we went to Costco because Cheryl & I found a couple of empty spaces in our cupboards. They're not empty anymore!!:)
Tuesday morning, we got the motor home ready and drove 268 miles to Beaumont, TX.

Tell next time be safe and happy
