Today we did some sightseeing in San Antonio. We started at the Alamo. In 1836 the Alamo occupied the grounds and buildings of the former Mision San Antonio de Valero. Used as a military post since the early 1800’s, the Texans had barricaded opening and mounted at least 19 cannon before the 13 day siege. Today, the Alamo grounds and buildings present a serene environment where visitors can contemplate nearly 300 years of history. It was interesting. From there we went to the River Walk (Paseo Del Rio). The RiverWalk runs through the heart of the business district. The tree-lined footpaths are bordered by shops and restaurants. We had lunch at Lone Star Steak and then walked both sides of the walk. There is even an outdoor theater ( Arneson River Theater) with the stage on one side of the river and seating on the other.
