Travel Info Hello, i'm going to San Antonio, Texas this Thursday on vacation and I was wondering if anyone lived there or has been there and could tell me what it is like? If you can, that would be great. Maybe attach some links for photos or information would be good too. Thanks! Isabel Travel Tips I love living here. It's true that it get's really hot though. We use air conditioners 24/7. My a/c is on now as i type!I think we get at the most {my estimate, now} 45 day's of real cold weather. There is Brackenridge park,Olmos park,Hemisfair park where water fountains abound and there is a "space needle" there.but it's the hemisfair tower. it's 750 ft and has a cafe/retaur. at the top that revolves. with a 4-d theatre at the bottom.We have many more parks too. The riverwalk will have it's water dyed green for st. patricks day and Fiesta is just around the corner....it's an 11 day city party! {There's the st.marys university oyster bake,A nighht in old san antonio called niosa for short, a taste of new orleans,there's the carnival, there's 3 parades that week one at night that is lighted up and in the riverwalk, where during Halloween theres a coffins on parade in there too.} Theres also natural bridge caverns near-by. 150 miles away is Laredo,Tx the gateway to Mexico and great bargains....BUT I wouldnt go there just yet!!! They are having a little too much drama, but I think it'll go away soon.We have old missions to see along with the alamo, We have about 5 or 6 mall's I think, maybe more. Theres Southtown , http://southtown.net/ And here are some web sites to look at.....I hope theres not too many, I just want you to see how it could be interesting to live here! Or vacation here!!! The japanese tea gardens are nice, so is the san antonio botanical garden.Sorry if I went overboard, I just wanted to write down quite a few choice's.

Other Travel Tips The Riverwalk is the place to go for walking/dining/shopping. Also shop at the Quarry. Naturally you might want to see The Alamo. They also have an IMAX near there. San Antonio is wonderful: Riverwalk, Market downtown, Sea World, the Alamo. There is a lot to see and do. have a sister who lives just outside of San Antonio -- maybe i can find the current weather or something --brb -- http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/... they have a 7 day forecast too -- http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/t... Wednesday: A 30 percent chance of showers. Partly cloudy, with a high near 81. South southwest wind 10 to 15 mph becoming east southeast. Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 61. East wind around 10 mph. Thursday: Partly cloudy, with a high near 82. Thursday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 58. Friday: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 75. Friday Night: A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 57. Saturday: Partly cloudy, with a high near 72. Isabel, I live in S.A. Just be warned, it is already 80 degrees here daily. And word to the wise, once you have seen the Alamo and walked down the Riverwalk and maybe done the River tour there isn't much else to see. Do visit the Hemisphere tower, do walk through the Alamo and read the history. Don't give the beggers downtown any money. Do take photos in front of the Alamo. If you are staying in a hotel down by the river, keep your car parked and walk..parking is unreal. Try a different restaurant every night you are here. Have a great time! San Antonio is lame, sorry. It's already pretty warm here, and they people in general here are not very educated. I would have found somewhere better to visit on vacation. |
