Memories of San Antonio

April 2nd, 2009 at 05:33 pm

We got back to CA last weekend from our trip to San Antonio and I hit the ground running, visiting all my student teachers this week... it's been an unusually busy week. Good thing I was rested and rejuvenated after spring break. We loved San Antonio and we definitely want to go back soon. Here are some highlights:

~ Riverwalk Cruise (a bargain @ $7.95; $5 for seniors)

OK, you can see some of my best memories have to do with food. But, we walked so much that I felt I could indulge without guilt. I did buy a great pair of walking shoes at the SAS factory ($30 off due to an indiscernible imperfection) and I wore them daily after I bought them. My feet were very happy! We stayed slightly under budget, except that I had to replace my digital camera because I lost my old one (and some great pictures). But the replacement camera was only $109, so not really a budget buster. All in all, the trip exceeded my expectations.

This is the view from the patio of our apartment:


Flooding along the Riverwalk is controlled by a series of flood gates (right side):


The cathedral was as beautiful as any I've seen in Europe, with intricate stained glass:


And in case you want the best seat in the cathedral:
