Feb 13-17 will be in San Antonio a block or so off the riverwalk with 3 other couples. Plan to see the Alamo, sights along the riverwalk but I have had luck in the past asking the TMan community for local attractions. One suggestion was to head down to Austin to watch bat's fly out from under a bridge??

What do some you guys and gals suggest?

Thanks,
Dave

THE WALL !!!! Take pics

Take the grand trolley tour around San Antonio. It runs like 15hrs a day but you can stay off at different stops as long as you like. Check out the el mercado market place. A lot to see.

A bunch of old west museums close to the Alamo.

Definitely the Alamo, try not to be too disappointed, It's completely hemmed in by buildings and city streets but still an emotional visit if you know the history, also check out the early Missions.

BBQ is only fair, lol

Dave the Alamo is a must but don't be surprised to see how small it looks with all the big buildings surrounding the site. The River Walk is really a great place. Lot of great places to stop in and view. It is really awesome at night if the weather is nice. The lighting makes the place magical. Very large city and diverse. I don't know much more than the downtown area.

Last year there were some Whooping Cranes that my friend got to check off his life list, should be around there again this year.

If you like Mexican food I'd highly recommend eating at La Fonda during your stay in San Antonio.

There is a bar near the Alamo that Teddy Roosevelt used when he formed part of the roughriders be before the war in Cuba

slowly turns while you eat

Thanks for the responses so far! I'm writing them down to share with the group so keep them coming!

If your referring to the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall from what I can find, it is arriving in San Antonio February 28th so unfortunately we will be gone.

I though the Natural Bridge Caverns were very cool, but I never really been inside a real cave before so it may not be that impressive to you.
There is a little town just up 35 called Greene. They have several little shop's to visit.
We always went to the drive in theater in New Braunfels.
The Alamo was ok and I went to the river walk 3 times in the 3 years that I lived there. I am not fond of big crowds so I avoided downtown as much as possible.
Couple of my favorite places to eat was Salt Grass Steak House & Rudy's (Barbecue).
If you like Basket Ball you could catch a spur's game. San Antonio loves their team and going to one of their games is a great experience.

San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo is going on. One of, if not the biggest in the country.

Buckhorn Saloon is a must see. Right of river walk. More mounts than Cabelas

Walk through the missions. They are pretty neat

My brother lives in San Antonio, I've spent a lot of time there. If you have the time before you go there read a couple of historical books on the fight at the Alamo. Get a clear picture in your mind of how the terrain was there at that time, the size of the town & church. Keep that in mind then look at the Alamo and let your imagination run loose. A little more up close & personal than we imagine modern combat to be.

You guys are great! So looking forward to checking out these places.

Thanks, Dave

Buckhorn Saloon is awesome. You should check out the "pictures" made with rattlesnake rattles. From a distance they look almost real and then close up you see how many rattles it took to make them. Amazing.
