Ok, time to break a rule... two to be exact. For anyone who really knows me, that'll be no problem. I break 'em all the time, and sometimes really enjoy doing it. It drives E- crazy, but I'll survive! Rule 1: going to post vacation shots; Rule 2: going to post multiples. Shsssssh! Don't tell. But I digress! As some of you know, a couple of weeks ago, we traveled to the great Southwest for a quick 5 day get-a-way. San Antonio is amazing! It's a wonderful family-friendly place to find yourself during Fiesta Week 2009. The Riverwalk, the Alamo, nightlife, daylife, a 10 day Fiesta, great places to eat and enjoy adult beverages, the Marketplace, Tex-Mex music, mariachi bands, lots of neat shops to look for true western-wear(a secret passion- when my grandfather introduced me to the Cisco Kid, the Range Rider and Hopalong Cassidy, I was sold. Hey, I got a great belt.) and a super hotel with lots of amenities within walking distance to all of these. San Antonio, you won't be disappointed!

We did have a wonderful time, didn't we. Nice memories.
ReplyDeleteAdd a question mark to the first sentence in the previous post.....duh.
ReplyDeleteLove that riverwalk, love that San Antonio. Thanks for stirring up old memories with these fine shots.
ReplyDeleteHey, Birdman...the trip to Turkey was pure pleasure. It's our second time there and we love it more each time we go. The England part of the holiday was added so we could visit our daughter.
ReplyDeleteNever been, but it sounds like a great place to visit when it's still chilly in New England.
ReplyDeleteHa ha...it sounds like you stayed in the old western hotel downtown not far from the Alamo. That's were we stayed and really like it there. We could go everywhere as long as we were back before dark. They told us to stay in after dark as the streets and especially River Walk wasn't safe.
ReplyDeleteDid you have the same experience? And, were you surprised at how small the Alamo is? I hope times have changed since the 1970s when we were there.
Birdman - it's okay to break the rules once in a while! Your picture is awesome and it makes me crave a margarita. Still waiting to see the belt . . .
ReplyDeleteLove the color, love the perspective. You're on a bridge! We lived in San Antonio when I was in the 2nd grade and the 4th grade--I'm 61 now--then Mama and I attended Hemisfair in 1968, a super time that included the River Walk and my first time in a Hilton hotel--I just knew I was uptown then! Finally I got to go with my two young sons and visit the Alamo on the way home to Jackson, Mississippi, from an elementary school field trip to Flagstaff, Arizona--we ate dinner at a restaurant on the River Walk. I love San Antonio!
