Day 31 - Deep in the Heart of Texas

When we woke up we had San Antonio on our minds. We totally lucked out with the weather. Warm and sunny! Our hotel was a bit further from the downtown area but a 30 minute drive is like a blink of an eye to us "road trippers".

We hit the city and parked a short walk from the Alamo. The outside of the Alamo was very pretty but it was a LOT smaller then what I thought it was going to be. The inside of the Alamo was very bare. They has a couple of glass cases. One of them even had Davy Crockett's vest...or one of them I guess. There was tons of information available, and the fort itself is much larger than just the main Alamo building.

We then set off to some of San Antonio's huge Mexican subculture areas. It was a good walk to the Historic Market Area. Inside this building were countless people selling sombreros, serapes, and other Mexican trinkets. Outside was just as colorful as inside. There were a few people here and there selling things and a couple of restaurants. I had to fight my urge to buy some maracas.

The Riverwalk is what anyone who has ever been to San Antonio would recommend to do. It's really a nice aspect of San Antonio. Along the Riverwalk you may find people walking their dogs or running. You need to go downstairs from the main roads to get to it. We ended up walking on the Riverwalk for a while and then grabbed a late lunch. We took advantage of the happy hour and decided it was tim to go home.

San Antonio was our last stop in Texas.
