San Antonio has definitely earned its rightful place among my personal U.S. must-sees. The famed Riverwalkm with its venetian flair, beautiful buildings and European charmm comes as a great surprise in this 'Texan style' city. It is hard to capture the mood in words and my phone camera does not do justice, so no picture is posted. But, check it out on the web: River Walk
San Antonio hosted the world's fair during the middle of the 20th century and it is another example of a city that is still profiting from the investment in architecutre and infrastructure created for the fair. The Tower of the Americas, the fair's icon and San Antonio's Eiffel Tower, still boasts the best views of the city and offers delicious Mango Mojitos. Definitely skip the charge to go to the observation deck and enjoy a drink at the bar.
See World opening day. Curious that the park opens at 10 a.m. but none of the attractions, shows, or food locations are open until 11 a.m. Also, somewhat of a disappointment that Sea World no longer offers free beer tastings due to the In-bev corporate takeover. But Shamu is Shamu and Believe has the same wonderful soundtrack as Sea World Orlando's. It was great to 'sea' the ultra-motivated team members enjoying the guest traffic on opening day, even though we were almost blown away under our wind advisory. Of course, we had our own great season start as the front row passengers on the first train at the Steel Eel.
