We stayed in 2 different Harvest Host sites around San Antonio. The first was at the Texas Air Museum and the second was at the Road Map Brewery. Staying at Harvest Host sites has been great. We see and do things we normally wouldn’t have done. The last night in the area we stayed at a Walmart in Brownsville.
We went to the Texas Rangers Museum. Not too impressed, nothing about Chuck Norris. ????
The Bonnie and Clyde exhibit was not too bad.
It was a different sort of Museum. It was attached to the Buckhorn tavern and the owner has interesting (and bizarre) collections.
We played around with the old side shows weird stuff. With one of the exhibits, we stand in front of a wall where our shadow is cast. When we walked away, our shadows stayed!
Optical illusion. Now I know how the smallest lady in the world was done. That attraction freaked my brother David and I out in the 70’s at Klondike Days.
The San Antonio River Walk was beautiful. We took a boat cruise and then had lunch in a Mexican restaurant.
Next was the city bus tour. It was a hop on, hop off bus with the tour guide giving us lots of interesting facts.
The Alamo was next. We were all so looking forward to it but in Laureen’s mind it was going to be a much bigger area.
There were lots of exhibits with descriptions of the battle and what became of the Mission Church throughout time.
Davey Crocket. This statue was erected where Davey’s body was found.
The San Fernando Cathedral had a beautiful light show at night. It was projected on the building and was the called the Saga, showing a history of San Antonio.
Thanks for sharing. Why all the skulls on the posts by the river?
The River Walk is beautiful and the history of it is very interesting ????
So many interesting things to do and see in San Antonio. Thanks for all the great pictures ????
