San Antonio, Texas and the Alamo

We stayed in a KOA campground in San Antonio, Texas, very convenient to the town, we actually left the kitty's in the motor home cool and comfortable, glad to stay put for a day and took Gremlin on his first bus ride into town. But before we left, in the woods behind the camper was this hawk, I couldn't get him to turn around he was actually a little put off about being bothered, not sure what type he is,must check my books when I get back home.




The town was just the right size for sightseeing, easy to get around and very clean.

Love seeing the horse drawn carriages, every town seems to have some

Same with Trolley Cars too

So off to the Alamo was one of our first stops, the grounds outside are so amazing, I just loved the open arches and I suspect during the summer months must have maybe grapes or another type of flowering vine covering this side entrance.

This is the original well at the Alamo, no water in it now just lots of change!


Davie Crocket is buried here also.

This is a side court yard and the building is the Daughters of American Revolution, historical society, where you can do research, disappointed that it was not open that day.

Side view of the Alamo building.

The rangers keeping the peace, well not , but letting you know the rules. The Alamo is considered a church, no pictures, food, etc...and they mean business..

This the the front of the Alamo, built 1836. If you want to learn more about the Alamo check out http://www.thealamo.org/

From there we went to the River Walk, and it was really wonderful to see signs of spring everywhere.

We walked till we could not walk anymore, this side ended with this tunnel, and that is where they keep the river boats while not in use.

Stone arches embrace the river, allowing everyone to cross the river.

Along the walkways you will come across little waterfalls.

Each one a little different.

Cafe's line the riverfront, you actually walk thru the cafe's when you stroll along the river.

This walkway goes on for miles, and they are adding another addition to it, what a beautiful place to take a stroll, or to stop and have lunch.
